About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I just don't want to die without a few scars.

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.

"I was young, and I thought I was tough and I knew it was beautiful and I was a little bit crazy but hadn't noticed it yet."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While living in Odessa, Ukraine I hosted quite a few people and we had fun by going to places they would not have found otherwise- underground drinking establishments, amazing rooftop views, and the fountain of youth. I have also couchsurfed while traveling because it is an easy way to meet friends, infiltrate cultures and discover. Couchsurfing is amazing.

Interests

Archaeology, Fly fishing, Rugby, Hockey, stones and bones, Africa, making people's lives better, and getting rowdy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving solo in Ukraine; Climbing Mt. Kenya; Bridge-jumping in Gunnison, Colorado; Sleeping on the beach under the stars on the volcanic Greek island of Nissyros during a total lunar eclipse; Hand-to-hand combat with a dog as an infant (I lost); Exploring Prehistoric cave art in south France; Currently experiencing amazing things every summer researching in Central Asia.
Every day should be amazing or you're fucking something up.
