Have lived in Oregon, Colorado, Alabama, Wisconsin, Idaho, and Utah. Currently loving the freedom that comes with remote work, and working on seeing all fifty states which should be complete by the end of 2025.

Love food tours, cooking for friends, and sharing knowledge about hobbies, or simply letting conversation develop over a campfire.

Looking for great individuals and new communities as I explore the US and beyond.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connecting with people feels great, and hostels and couchsurfing seem more social.

Interests

Always down to talk the ear off someone about their technical hobbies, and love visiting audio stores in cities I pass through.

Say hello to grab food, come to yoga with me, or stay if the current travel and tenant situation allows.

Love individualism and engaging conversation, whether that's over dinner, around campfires, or while hiking all day.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music wise, things that are excellently produced... I've really enjoyed spatial audio remasters on a surround sound system I put together. Huge fan of female rock 'rasp' voices, Eminem is a lyrical genius, and Carmina Burana, O Fortuna is perfect to accompany the apocalyptic moment of doom in any film!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Iceland... The best food, the best nature.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can clean your computer, show you how to reinstall the OS to make it feel like new, am an expert with Excel, and love showing people my home theater, basic car maintenance, consumer reports, and how to cook well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My love of sound, spicy food, and stovetop popcorn cooked in ghee, perhaps after one of several waterfall hikes nearby.
