CURRENT MISSION

I want to dive into culture head first and experience every aspect of life.

ABOUT ME

I was lucky to be raised in a family that spent all summer camping and traveling around the U.S. I later moved to Alaska for school and fell in love with extremes. I enjoy being within touching distance of Alaska Brown Bears, 200 miles away from any road system as much as I enjoy walking around a smog filled city of 10 million people tasting mystery meat from a street vendor.

PHILOSOPHY

"There is more to life than increasing its speed."
-Mahatma Gandhi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I'm not traveling or working in the middle of nowhere, Alaska... my couch is your couch.

I've also stayed on a couch or two and am looking for nice people to host my travel buddy and I for our Grand Asia trip of 2008 - 2009.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never had a bad experience (knock on wood). I think that if you are willing to participate in a global community such as this, you are more than likely a decent person. The world needs more couchsurfers!
