I'm a photographer and big nerd with itchy feet and a strong desire to learn new things.

I like challenging myself; I recently picked up rock climbing for example.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for a floor or couch to sleep on for a little bit, because I just got a job in California and moved from Washington state.

Interests

I like to read, get coffee with interesting strangers, hike, go on long bike rides, talk about technology and the future, and engage in (faux) philosophical conversation.

• coffee
• technology
• traveling
• guitar
• piano
• cycling
• hiking
• rock climbing

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly listen to folk, alt-rock (like radiohead), and occasionally electronic music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once hiked several hours up a snowy mountain in Japan to see a massive beautiful Buddhist temple.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play the guitar and piano well enough to teach the basics, I'd like to learn the strangest thing you are excited about, and I have a few (hopefully) interesting stories about well-meaning follies traveling out of U.S.
