I've been on the move for the last few years, balancing ski seasons in different parts of the world with emergency first response work on Lesvos in Greece.

Seeing where my feet take me, hopefully meeting some like minded (or not) humans along the way who can challenge my thoughts and opinions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet interesting people who have traditional or alternative lifestyles, share stories with them, hear their stories, gain their perspectives of the place they're living, and share my perspective of the places I've lived.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've become known for my french toast, among other things. I'm always willing to share that or another meal. Love learning how to cook new food, maybe we combine forces and come up with something new?
