CURRENT MISSION

To see as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

Born in Idaho to a Mormon couple, but raised all over the country. I went to film school in Tallahassee, FL and then moved up to Brooklyn, NY with a couple of friends and worked in development at a film studio. Then I moved to Prague and now I'm living in Montreal.

PHILOSOPHY

"Any excuse for non-performance, no matter how valid, only weakens the character"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I had an apartment, I would host couchsurfers, but right now I am traveling and relying upon strangers for shelter. For more info: Slo-ride.blogspot.com

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met so many amazing CS people while riding my bike across North America. Got drunk in Fargo, well fed in Jersey, brushed off in Chicago, made a friend in Idaho, and met a Democrat in North Dakota.

I guess I need to start repaying the favors, huh?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode my bicycle across the country and camped with strangers along the way. This trip encompasses about 50 to 100 moments that are still too amazing to wrap my head around. Surreal.
