ABOUT ME
odd. fun. unpredictable. blunt. creative.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and traveling. We're all in this crazy world together. I enjoy spending time with like minded people. If you are visiting Colorado and I have the time, I will be happy to drive to hike somewhere, if you can keep up!

I'm not sure why it changed to say I haven't hosted or surfed yet because I have a couple times each a while back... They rebuilt this website and it removed some of my early references from many years ago:(

Interests

art and design.

i strive to create amazing things and am captivated when i see beauty in others creations. i believe that design has the power to make the cities and places we live in better for communities and individuals of all demographics and economic backgrounds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Funny how the CS profile once said list 3 things, but now it says one thing...
Hiked the Na Pali coast of Kauai, one of the most beautiful and precarious walks I have done. Watching the sunset on this trail is unreal
Watching a herd of several hundred elk bugling, grazing, and courting, in a valley below me in the San Juan Mountains at dusk.
I ran with the bulls in Pamplona and didn't fall down...

Teach, Learn, Share

Cities are landscapes too. I explore how they are designed, how they operate and how people use them. I love to talk with people about where they are from, where is home, how they think of these cities/countries and how they feel about the places they have traveled.
