CURRENT MISSION

To see as many places and try as many things as I can. I want to learn about other people and become very adept in adventure sports.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, try new things, and meet new people. I love to be outside and I do almost everything that one can do. I also love history and just exploring new places.

PHILOSOPHY

I live in the moment and try not to worry about the future

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I used couchsurfing while my friend and I were in Europe and we had nothing but good things to say about the people we have met from it.

I love getting to meet new people and really experience their culture. I enjoy staying with people who want to get to know you as much as you want to get to know them. The cultural exchange is a really amazing part of couch surfing that I enjoy.

Interests

Hiking, skiing/snowboarding, climbing, cayoneering, trying new things (especially if it is outside), and music (I play the piano and the drums). I am currently working on a couple different novels, designing my own websites, and writing for blogs. I recently just published my own blog, atlascalling.com. Feel free to check it out if you want!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I enjoy it all, from classical to rock to EDM and have gone to all sorts of different concerts. I really like Lord Huron and Griz at the moment.

Movies: I don't watch a ton of movies, but I love the shows Games of Thrones, Westworld, and Archer.

Books: I still love the Harry Potter series and am almost caught up on A Song of Ice and Fire. Cloud Atlas is amazing, as is American Gods. I really enjoyed The Handmaid's Tale.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cross country skied up to a hut in the mountains in a blizzard and stayed the night there. It was the most amazing experience as the storm cleared at night and the stars were fantastic. I also picked up hitchhikers on my way to ski and they talked me into trying out backcountry skiing for the first time with them.
I went back packing through Europe for the past few months. I lived in Greece for a bit the summer before backpacking through Europe to Ireland.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can show you some drumming or piano, though I am a bit out of practice at the moment. I can also teach people how to ski or board if you come during the winter/spring/fall months! I can also show you the ropes for rock climbing and give some great tips for hiking.

Learn: I like to learn new languages, skills, new instruments, or try anything outdoorsy. I would love to properly learn white water kayaking and how to actually stay on my slackline.

Share: I like to cook with my hosts and guests as I think it's a great way to hang out. I like to share experiences with others and hear about their travels and their countries. I love to share my favorite places for hiking, skiing, and eating if in my hometown! I'm also a great adventure buddy!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have recently have been into cooking so I can make some awesome meals. I would love to share experiences rock climbing/skiing/snowboarding/hiking/exploring if I have my gear!
