I find pleasure in adrenaline and authenticity, in exploring far-off lands, in probing my immediate environs, in satisfying curiosity, in creating, competing, learning, and working with my hands. I thrive in the wild, play as many sports as possible, love the mountains, enjoy making and viewing art, and often escape through books and film. I prefer substance to form but still appreciate the latter.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I like people and love getting to know anyone new - especially if we can share things that enrich each other's lives. CS is a great community, and the people I've met through it have all been wonderful. Have surfed a few times (all great experiences) and am happy to host when I am not traveling. Have also enjoyed CS meetups.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Completed a 4,000+ mile solo and unsupported bicycle trip across the U.S.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm pretty chill and really just like connecting with people. I can share stories about my experiences, lots of random knowledge, and good conversation. If a host is interested in exploring the area with me, in having some drinks, playing a board game, or making dinner together, I'll almost certainly be down.
