CURRENT MISSION

Figuring out what my mission is...

ABOUT ME

I'm a very laid back, easy going person. I love meeting new people and sharing new adventures. I'm all for any sort of outdoor activity, but I especially love hiking, camping, rock climbing, and biking. I'm also a big fan of extreme sports; skydiving is great, and I used to work as a bungee jumping instructor. I've been working as an adventure guide and outdoor educator for a few years now, with the aim of getting seasonal jobs all around the world as a way to travel and make a living.

Oh, and I'm also kind of a science nerd.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I stayed with a few people on a drive across country from D.C. to California, and a few other times in Southern CA. Internationally I've couch surfed in Vietnam, Taiwan, India, and the Philippines. So far I've had amazing experiences with CS!

I'm now settling in to a place just outside Yosemite and plan to open my couch to travelers!
