I grew up on an island in the Northwest of the USA, where I developed a strong love for the mountains, ocean, forests and rivers. I have always been drawn to the outdoors and love hiking, biking, and running.

I served in the US Peace Corps in 2012-2015 in Senegal, deepening my love for travel and learning new languages and cultures. I met my wife, Rhianna, in Senegal, where she was also a Peace Corps volunteer. We now live in Denver, Colorado, and both love travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling began as a way to push myself and learn more about the world and the wonderful variety of people and places in it. The more I see the more my fascination of geography, history, language, and culture grows.

Rhianna I both love meeting new people, learning new things, sharing new experiences, and exploring new places. We hope to never lose our adventurous spirits even when (if?) we grow up!

Interests

For recreation I love getting out and exploring. My favorite days are full of fun adventures all day followed by great food and company in the evening. I enjoy hiking, biking, running, cooking, reading and gardening.
