ABOUT ME

I think life is best when I'm learning new things + seeing new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I've only had the opportunity to meet + surf with other couchsurfers. We're planning a move from Albany shortly and look forward to hosting once we get there (wherever there may be..).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I discovered couchsurfing while on a cross-country bike trip through the northern United States in Summer 2009. I was able to meet some fantastic + generous people along the way and think of those experiences + conversations as some of the most positive aspects of the trip.

Interests

Mountains - climbing up them and snowboarding down them. Architecture - especially the socially engaged + environmentally conscious kind. Running. All things bicycle-related. Friends. Travel. Art. Cities. Coffee. Booze.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling in Costa Rica, February 2009. Took a train, to a plane, to a bus, to a ferry, to a taxi, to another taxi, and ended up at a fantastic surfing beach for a week. Rented a truck the following week and drove the length of the country with two friends in search of good surf + quiet towns.
