ABOUT ME

I am a travelling bicycle mechanic and mountain bike guide. I am mechanically minded and enjoy working with my hands. I love backpacking and camping, and most of my destinations reflect this love for nature. Many of my travels end when I find a new town that I just can't seem to leave and then decide to call it home. I enjoy interactions with good people. My heart is forever in the mountains. I am quite mellow and easy-going.

PHILOSOPHY

Love the earth. Love people. Don't hate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Interests

The forest. I am truly happy in a forest. Mountain biking, hiking, camping, or living in the hills, I love it all. I love finding small dive bars in new places and prefer talking with locals. I enjoy gardening and cooking up the fruits of the labor. I strive to be able to mechanically fix anything that is broken.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunrise on day 6 of a canoe trip in backwoods Canada. Slept on an island where we saw a double rainbow reflected into a full circle the day before. Life changing.
