CURRENT MISSION

To expand my horizons in every way possible

ABOUT ME

I work for an outdoor-education organization that takes middle school classes in to the wilderness for week+ long trips. I am also a carpenter and an avid whitewater kayaker and cyclist. I love to paint, read books, and have awesome times with cool people. I love the outdoors, but also enjoy late nights in the city. Traveling and meeting amazing people around the world has changed my life all for the better and I hope it continues to in the days and years to come.

PHILOSOPHY

To become the best person I can by learning from others and listening to who I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used couch surfing quite a bit on my travels through Turkey, Greece, Israel, and Jordan. Couch surfing has made traveling so much more interesting: from a great experience in Istanbul to a CS party in Athens. I've also hosted people in my home in the foothills of Northern California. I've been inactive in the couch surfing community for some time, but am excited to join up and participate again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first night in Athens our host, Sergios, had a couch surfing party where he invited people for the cs community in Athens to mingle and dance. Met some incredible people. It's a night I'll never forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

I live in the Northern California foothills where rivers are more beautiful than any I've come across in my worldly travels yet. I can certainly show you a good time in the outdoors.
