CURRENT MISSION

Square Up.

ABOUT ME

Part time bar room philosopher, part time whitewater rafting guide in the Grand Canyon, and the rest of the year I get to PLAY. In Jackson, WY for the winter.

I was homeschooled from an early age. I consider homeschooled people strange and awkward, but I don't think of myself that way.

I LOVE coffee. And it seems nearly half of my travel budget goes to fueling this addiction.

I'm pretty fun loving and open to doing just about anything.Whether you want to stay in and play board games or go out and rage I can do either one just fine! I feel somewhat like a chameleon in that regard.

I like to play sad country songs on the guitar.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't expect a donkey to act like a horse.

Shit stinks, water runs downhill and payday is on Friday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf, Host and meet up or do whatever! I have a couch in Jackson, WY this winter.

My whole philosophy is if you're just doing this to just try and save money, come up with ways that don't rely on other people (camping, being self sufficient, stay at home, being an adult and realizing things that you want to do require money) rather than using this website.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted more than I've surfed. I prefer to be the host, but enjoy surfing as well. Have had only great experiences through this site. Lots of "unofficial" couchsurfs too. Some really good, some awkward.

Interests

Travel (duh), fixing my own vehicles, making money in odd ways, board games, learning about other cultures, outdoor sports of many varieties, self education, getting lost in cities, spending hours in museums, getting drunk and singing songs, cribbage, trying out new vices, eating things while traveling that others might find disgusting. cross country cycling
