I grew up in a lame town; so at 17, I ran off to Spain and fell in love. I've been slowly exploring the rest of the world ever since. Then, somehow, I landed in Alaska.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted many surfers and have occasionally surfed myself. I am inundated with couch requests every summer, and then receive very few visitors in the winter. I wish more people would visit Anchorage in the winter; it's the best time of the year.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite authors are Jaime Bayly, T.C. Boyle, and Gary Jennings. The best films are 20 Centí­metros and Dancer in the Dark. As far as music goes, I listen to whatever sounds good.

Teach, Learn, Share

Tourist season is May 15 - September 15, the only time that all services are available throughout Alaska. I do not recommend April or October; it's ugly and not much is happening. The winter, November - March, is fantastic!
