About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a city dweller, but I grew up in the mountains so my mind and my heart are always at 14,000ft. I like to think of myself as naturally adventurous, but it does take a bit of an effort on my part to get out there sometimes.

PHILOSOPHY

One of the great pleasures in life is accomplishing something others believe is not possible, along with love and drinking of course.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have mostly "taken" from CS, having been shown different cities by locals, but I am happy to return the favor as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

Interests

I am an Indycar engineer which takes me to many interesting(and some not so interesting) places. I rarely get to travel for the sole purpose of doing so, but I hope to soon. I am not sure what I would do in the event that I had more than just the evenings to explore, but I am sure it would involve good food and music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Japan just months past the tsunami and resulting radiation disasters. It struck me how much devastation there was, but also how normal everything seemed just outside the effected areas. Everything looked just as I had left it the year before, only miles away from the coast.
