About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Bike tour from Billings, MT to Bellingham, WA via Yellowstone, Tetons and Glacier National Parks!

ABOUT ME

I am a people person. I like getting to know people, how they are, what they think and feel and why they view the world the way they do; people are fascinating, dynamic and have so much to offer!
I am honest, openminded and curious. I know that I have not figured it all out and hope I'll have to settle for being curiously engaged for a lifetime, but not everything is a mystery. I like to think that a good life comes first and foremost from treating the basics with eloquence; treating your body, mind and heart well and having concern for wellness for those around you.
I've an eccentric appriciation for bicycles and love to ride with new people. I tour a great deal but also enjoy road riding and mountain biking. A bicyle adventure is at the heart of my current dream: bike from Alaska to Argentina!

PHILOSOPHY

Engage this life fully, it's human scapes and landscapes. Be kind. Tred lightly. Own less and live more. In as large a way as possible, do good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try and foster meaning and connection with the people I meet. I like to share in their place, lifestyle and fun but also like to bring a bit of my own. I always try and do something nice to say thanks and stay in touch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm relitively new to CS but I have already been blown away by this amazing network of openminded people. I'm currently staying with a host and she is amazing!
I've beena part of a CS household for quite some time and relish the chance to show someone around my home. Sharing the treasures and local details of 'my place' with fellow travelers.

Interests

Traveling (goes without saying I suppose), All kinds of cycling from roadbiking to touring thousands of miles, food (from preparing it to eating it to sharing it to growing it!), photography, languages, and just about any outdoor activity. I also am always in for an adventure, planned or spontanious, let's go!
