ABOUT ME

I'd like to start off by warning you that my profile was written when I was a lot younger. The photo is still pretty accurate tho.

Adventuring through the galaxy and meeting new people along the way.

I basically have a lot of energy and try to get as much out of life experiences as I can. I tend not to give up. I'm incredibly outdoorsy and try to never pass up an opportunity to go hiking, backpacking, camping, biking, anything wild, etc.

Boy Scout, Adventurer, Leader, Explorer, Traveler, Engineer, Problem-Solver

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore the world, and help others on their quest to do the same.

Interests

Things off the beaten path, that which the everyday tourist doesn't get to see. Sharing stories with people and hearing about others' experiences. Trying new food. Exploring by foot and/or bike. Minimalism: valuing experiences over possessions and personal comfort.

# MUSIC
Honestly I can appreciate the art of many different genres and would be happy to hear your recommendations. I particularly like movie soundtracks, classical, and EDM too. I also like Ylvis.

It's funny we still call them TV shows although we seldom watch them on the telly anymore, but without further ado:
Doctor Who, Sherlock, Avatar the Last Airbender, Legend of Korra, The Office, New Girl, Modern Family, Fresh Off the Boat, Supernatural, The Big Bang Theory (esp. early seasons)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the calving of glaciers in Alaska, Watching the Aurora Borealis, Witnessing an entire city become blanketed with snow overnight (as someone who grew up in a place that never snows XD), abseiling into a bat cave in South Africa, sailing the Puget Sound, and almost getting eaten by a bear.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to tie knots that can save your life! I can teach you a one-handed bowline, sheet bend, tautline hitch, tripod lashings, you name it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well chores, of course! Daily life is such a struggle, anything I can do to alleviate it is the respectable thing to do. I'm really easy to host, I want to cause minimal dispruption for you as possible.
