CURRENT MISSION

Pay it forward....

ABOUT ME

I always have some type of project going on and enjoy tinkering, especially on bicycles. I enjoy running and just finished my first marathon which was a fun challenge. Supporter of local arts, street art, and re-use programs. Very open to trying new things and learning about other cultures which I think makes the world a better place for everyone!

PHILOSOPHY

Focus on today.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mostly participate by hosting at the moment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I enjoy hosting, and have surfed in Belgium, Canada, Norway, and Denmark. Surfing has made my trips sooooo much better - it's the best local experience! Surfing has also given me ideas on how I can be a better host.

兴趣

Backpacking, bicycling, bicycle touring and bikepacking, non-fiction, dub reggae, jazz, minimalism, things that are designed well, dill pickle sunflower seeds, good bourbon, local six-packs, and anything brewed by Abita.

音乐、电影和书籍

David Sedaris is hilarious. I'm slightly addicted to documentaries and independent films, but not a fan of the television. Just ask and I'll tell you what I'm currently reading/watching. :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情
