CURRENT MISSION

Limit consumerism and embrace minimalism. Encourage self-sustainability.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent college graduate from a semi-sheltered town. That much has nudged me in the direction of travel, and pushing the extremes of my comfort zone in doing so.
I am a lover of the outdoors, especially alpine skiing, backpacking, trail running, etc. I am open-minded to all religions/philosophies that promote a healthy state of mind, body and soul.
I have been vegetarian for four years.

PHILOSOPHY

"... it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I appreciate sustainable and culturally authentic travel.
I enjoy learning about people from all walks of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bicycle toured the Washington Cascade Mountains on $2.50 a day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've spent a long time in the bicycle industry as a salesman and novice mechanic, was once well-versed in several instruments, and have quite a bit of athletic experience. I also consider myself a talented writer!

I am incredibly open minded to new religious practices and express interest in gastronomy. I enjoy listening to folks' adventure stories and their outlook on the family as an institution.
