CURRENT MISSION

To make the world a smaller place.

ABOUT ME

Fully vaccinated!
Love the outdoors.
Moved to Bend to ski, snowboard, roadbike, mountainbike, paddle, hike, run, adventure race and have become kind of addicted to sand volleyball... but I am not really an expert at any of these pursuits. I love to travel (49 countries and 49 states), and used to do it a lot, but kind of got out of the habit. I’m back at it except for a Covid break.

PHILOSOPHY

To try to be a good person (sometimes it works) and still have fun.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have hosted a few times now. I have surfed once, and have met for a few drinks. Hosted a local CS gathering in Bend a few years ago.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing organized, have stayed with friends while traveling, and vice-versa. Random couchsurfing on a bike trip through Lompoc California while walking our bikes in the rain when a wonderful woman stopped to ask if we needed help, and from a couple we met at a bar in Vancouver Canada.

Bungee jumping in NZ and Canada. Burning Man (3X). Flew through the Alps in a small plane with a former CS’er and even got to fly the plane (or at least I felt in control).
