Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Always hosting when I have a residence, but currently living out of my truck. I enjoy couch surfing as an opportunity to meet new friends, share skills, and stay warm!! Winter truck camping is challenging at times!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went cliff jumping at Iskander Kul in Tajikistan. The towering sandy desert mountains in contrast to the clear cold oasis, good friends, and the adrenaline of the jump, is one of my fondest travel memories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to sit down and draw or craft together, lead us in daily yoga practice, or cook us a delicious vegetarian meal.
I work as a mountain guide (mostly in rock and mountaineering) and would be happy to share some best practices that I've learned through my training and mentorship.
