Teach, Learn, Share

Lived in Hawaii for a spot to work on fishing boats. Want to work on a hot shot crew fighting wildland fires some day like my great friend Will McKinney. Want to spend a year in Alaska, and a year wandering the Andes Mountains.
Tips:
Portland: SouthEast is where it's at. CS is the best way to stay, but there's a hostel on Hawthorne that is cool and a great location. Must do's are parks, gardens, breweries, strip club (Sassy's is the BEST), Bloody Mary's, the Columbia River Gorge, and Mt. Hood.

Joshua Tree: You MUST see the National Park, it's epic. Hidden valley is the most popular spot and hosts most climbers and most of the classic trad routes. Great hiking and climbing all throughout the entire park. The JT Saloon is the hang-out in town. Pappy and Harriet's has great bbq and blues and is way out in cool old Pioneer Town. DO NOT go to Twentynine Palms to hang out, unless you are a Marine, in a biker gang, or trying to score or Meth.

Vague other worldly tips if you're unable to find a couch:
1. Mantengase Hostel in San Telmo Buenos Aires is a great cheap hostel with great, beautiful people in a absolutely wonderful part of BA 2 blocks from the San Telmo street fair.
2. The JayNii Streetwise school and drum troupe are great people if you ever find yourself in Jamestown Accra. Cape Coast and Kakum National Park are must sees of Ghana.
3. Oasis Hostel in Puerto Vallarta Mexico is a great place to stay with an opportunity to see the real Vallarata in addition to all the developed night life / beach life scene. The owner Guillermo will hook you up with the best of both.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation. General good vibes. Smiles. An adventurous spirit.
