CURRENT MISSION

Constantly adjusting my prespective on life.

ABOUT ME

Outdoorsy, love a good adventure! I love building freak bikes, the taller the better. I've spent about half of my adult life living/working/travelling abroad and have managed to see a good portion of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

They shoot horses, don't they?

“Find out what you want, find something you really care about. When you know what you want the rest follows. But don’t just drift into something because it offers security. Security is never worth a damn. We’re meant to live and to live means living dangerously, half on the edge of trouble, half on the edge of achievement."

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Probably have a couch for you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Taken in for the night by a Navajo family living way off the grid along the continental divide in New Mexico. Had to push my bike a full mile on a muddy track to get there. We got drunk and they gave me an acre of land, true story.

Spent a month with a family in a small village in Guatemala, the father had not worn shoes for over 20 years - he had his heart broken and vowed to never wear shoes again. He can tell the story much more eloquently than I can write it.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Rode a mountain bike across Asia (10,000km), snuck into Tibet, made it to Camp 3 on the Tibetan side of Mount Everest.

I was a first responder at a militant attack in India on my 23rd birthday, bomb went off about 100' from me, way too close for comfort.

Mountain biked the Great Divide from Banff to Mexico. When I got to Mexico I kept going but switched to pavement. Ended up in Panama.

Paddled a canoe solo across Canada (3000km.) Numerous close encounters with bears, a near drowning incident and a 19 km portage -it was the best and worst time of my life.

Cycled back to back to back (to back!) centuries (100miles per day) in Mexico in 40 degree Celcius heat, towing a trailer. Biggest day was 216km.
