I grew up in a rural part of Oregon. I'm interested in international and current affairs. I like traveling and exploring the outdoors. I especially like bike riding. I enjoy meeting and getting to know people. I enjoy hearing and sharing stories and am an avid radio/podcast listener.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because it is a great way to meet people and get a better feel for a new place while traveling. Also, its a way to meet people where I live. I look forward to someday hosting people from all over the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like indie music and folk. I tend to read non-fiction and have a weak spot for superhero action movies with predictable plots.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in a ger (read: yurt) for two years in the Mongolian countryside while teaching English at a secondary school.
