About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get some cross country skiing done this winter, summon the snows. Figure out gravity. Understand community living. Be a good person.

ABOUT ME

Big world, lots of people, too much to do! I am really interested in climbing, biking, disc golf, ultimate, skiing in sweet deep powder and kamakaze camping right now and also the bongos, did I mention sweet deep powder? Not really a morning person but I'm working on it. I'm pretty much always into any kind of mission really. I'm pretty into maps too, perhaps unhealthily. There is to much to say in this space... The best way is to meet and chat!

PHILOSOPHY

Talk, travel, learn, discuss, lunch is unpredictable. Olive oil is good on pretty much everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My place has a couch or three, lots of random stuff in the house. Old house, close to centre, river, lake. BIG LOUNGE

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A bit out of the way for travelers but worth it when you get here and realise that its AWESOME! Plenty of hearty meals, adventures and people to meet.

Interests

I'm interested in harnessing those rare occasions when you get a sudden burst of energy and get 3 or 4 of those-things-that-you've-been-meaning-to-do done. Powerful stuff
