CURRENT MISSION

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

ABOUT ME

I am a story, with a bigging, middle, and end. Ive commercial salmon fished for the last 13 years of my life...now your going to double check and see if i put down the right age, haha. I am studying abroad as a junior in college now in Florence, Italy. I am studying Exercise and Sport science and specializing in Health and fitness... What could i do with that in Italy??? Study the culture of food and VINO!!

PHILOSOPHY

Yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is present...thats why they call it a gift.

Everything happens for a reason.
If it is meant to be it will find its way.

A ship in the harbor is safe, but thats not what a ship was built for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am the one that sleeps on your couch, when I do return home I hope to return the favor.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I guess you could say i have been an under the couch provider... since studying abroad i have hosted travelers looking for a shower and a roof over their head for the night or more, little did they know how much of a caretaker i am :)

Interests

Living life to the most, having a rare childhood of living out at sea i now can only keep this natural high of living life and exploring going. I love anything to do with outdoors from the tops of the snow cap mountains all the to the depths of the sea.

I also fill my life with laughter, I am one that loves to laugh with and sometimes at people:) I have what you call an "Alaskan Spirit" meaning I love to really live life in the moment and to its fullest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everyday out at sea is something amazing, whether it is looking at the glacier mountains of Denali or watching an otter swim by. Writing down the people I have met out on at sea and the things I have seen and done will not give it justice...ill tell a story when you come to visit.

Teach, Learn, Share

There are many types of people in this world. They all have a story to tell, and they all need a place to sleep at night, i know i am one. Give a helping hand, and hope that someday the favor maybe returned.
