CURRENT MISSION

live, love, laugh, feel, just to be

ABOUT ME

I find I can't stay in one place for too long. I've spent the past few years working various conservation jobs that have taken me through the deserts and rainforests of the U.S. I hope that this lifestyle won't change anytime soon, and that I can keep traveling all my days.

PHILOSOPHY

You can never have too many limes. Or avocados. Vitality comes from the good earth. Love dirt.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have a couch right now, when I do you are more than welcome to crash on it any time. For now I'm hoping to show you that that person on your couch is not a lazy bumb, but a fun friend to inspire you out of that mundane daily existance that too often smothers us. And if you're ever in San Fran gimmie a ring and we'll drink some limes!

Interests

Adventuring in the outdoors. Snowboarding. Lying on hot hot beaches. Live music. Riding bikes. Yoga. Tai chi. Raw vegan cuisine (but sometimes I cheat).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhicking through Guatemala is not the recomended mode of transportation listed in the guide books. But bouncing down a dirt road for two hours in the back of a pickup, watching the sky catch fire as the sun sank into the limestone cliffs of the jungle, ahh, that was a sight not to be missed.
