California native. An easy going personality that is respectful, corky, and rational. Interested in all things under the sun including but not limited to: Belly laughs that make you cry, Outdoor activities that make you spry, Food & drink that make you moan, last but not least trips into thee unknown... I play the the didgeridoo, surf when Poseidon sends the waves, and above all else, work towards making myself and the world we live in a better place. I love my job and the people I work with which, in and of itself, keeps me healthy and happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that an individual that is willing to couchsurf (or host) is one worth meeting. Also convenient, low cost and lots of spontaneous potential!

Interests

I love to sweat and I love to learn. That leaves it fairly open ended so to consolidate to a few things...
Outdoor Activities: surfing, skiing, trail running, backpacking, beach connoisseur, and many more.

Intellectual: learning how things work, making things move, Astronomy, understanding the world we live in (blanket term for the fact that I/we are students of life, can't stop, won't stop learning).
