COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed minimally so far, but I'm looking forward to more. I've found Couchsurfing to be an incredible way to learn about a new place from a local's perspective, I love it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing my interest in the outdoors, backpacking, climbing, skiing. I also enjoy figuring out how things work and trying to improve them, working on cars and bikes, little projects, etc. I'm an engineer, and can often be found nerding out on spreadsheets...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation, stories of travel, climbing and mountaineering info. I also love sharing a beer or some coffee, and talking about where I'm from, where I've been, and where I'd love to go!
