Rivers, mountains, gear, and beer are my peanut butter. I love to adventure and explore. Kayaking, climbing, backpacking, and skiing are my favorite things to do outside. I am an avid reader, mostly psychology related books mixed with science fiction and fantasy. I worked wilderness therapy for a few years and loved it. It taught me so much about people and myself. Now I'm living the river guide/travel bum life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hostels and hotels can be expensive, especially for a river guide's "salary." Looking to meet some locals who can tell me about their city and what not to miss. I feel like crashing with someone who truly knows the area is the best way to see it.

Music, Movies, and Books

For music I love oldies, bluegrass, and almost anything from the 60s and 70s. I love movies. Comedies and action films are my favorite and I'll quote movies with you all day. I try to read everyday. I mix it up with science fiction, fantasy, and psychology related books. If you have a good recommendation, I will read it for sure. I always love to have more books to check out.
