CURRENT MISSION

To really influence some significant change, to explore, to have fun, to know as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

I’ve spent a lot of time doing trail work out in the Colorado forests, so I like to spend a lot of time outside. And I have explored all over Colorado. I went to college up in Burlington, VT. I'm pretty upbeat and laid back. I’ve done a lot of trail work on 14,000 foot mountains, such as Mt Beirstadt, Mt. Elbert, Mt. Aeolus, and the Maroon Bells. Most of the trails had a lot of rock work. This meant hiking into work with the mountain goats, marmots, and pika, and flipping rocks over with hand or bar to make into stair cases, walls, etc.... Each rock is different, and it's always fun to try and set nice flat boulders still and unmoving in a bed cut out for it. After coming out of the woods, I spent one fall in Boulder, and I continue my exploration, and adventures. Climbing, enjoying good food, dancing, singing, whatever excited me at the moment. Now I’m adventuring through California camping in the desert, checking out beaches and looking forward to making some good meals

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I’m looking to get a good gauge on California and enjoy the company of some fun people.

Now when I check off “smoker” I’m referring to, more of a green bud, and not the things you can find at a gas station where the smell infects everything you own forever. I think that’s a useful distinction. Though, I’m mostly not lighting it up these days either.

音乐、电影和书籍

Yes, but perhaps more on this later, it is an ever shifting selection of favorites.

Akawara Under The Bridge is one of my current all time favorites. It’s really bizarre, super heartfelt and funny, and really dives in to the darker realms of where the human mind meets, society, but it keeps it light, so perhaps “really dives” is a little off point from what I am trying to say. I have yet to read the full manga, but I feel it might be worth it.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Well amazing is subjective, but one of the most intense things I have done is climb Mt. Eolus, one of the slightly more challenging peaks in Colorado. I personally enjoy that experience a lot more since I worked on the mountain, helping to build a rather beautiful rocky reroute of the trail through the tallus.

教，学，和分享

On the fun side, I can teach you all the most fun and expressive words I have picked up in Japanese, I am not fluent, but I can kind of follow a conversation or at least get the gist of it. I would happily teach you some rock work( dry stone masonry) though that would require some boulders and some pretty expensive tools. But hey if you have them, I love teaching it. I have my own personal wisdom, and all the weird and seemingly random knowledge I’ve picked up over the years. And if you really want to, I can guess most don’t, I have saturated my brain in and absorbed a lot of politics over the years as well. But I am no wise enlightened person or political genius, everything you can learn from me inevitably comes from my own experiences, perspective, lens to which I view the world through.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I have some interesting stories, of the weird and often wild times that are living out in the forest, the time my friend and I hitchhiked to Denver, and a bunch of other stories.
