About Me

I’m a climbing instructor/guide in Joshua Tree and I love climbing. However I’ve been an avid cyclist since college.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m going to be traveling through Europe from March 2020 through early June 2020. I will be riding my bicycle and following cyclings Spring Classics all the way through the Giro d’Italia. I have a rental car and bike packing gear so I’m ready for almost anything. I plan to spend some nights camping but would appreciate company and a bed from time to time (maybe a lot).
I’m quiet and go to bed early.

For the entertainment of my hosts in France, I can sing “au claire de la lune” in French. For the rest of you I have nothing...sorry.
