CURRENT MISSION

Make it possible to explore & help others explore the world in the best way possible- cheaply and with locals!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in New York and lived in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire before making the move out west to Colorado. Having lived in/around cities my whole life, I then moved to the middle of nowhere in Idaho, and enjoyed the ski bum life at Grand Targhee resort in Wyoming. I'm now in Teton Valley (Driggs, ID) but, I'm looking forward to moving to Santa Fe, NM soon to pursue my passion for Alternative Medicine and obtain a Masters in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine.

PHILOSOPHY

keep it simple. don't judge. believe in something...anything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to make visitors feel welcomed in my town and give them tips to explore Teton Valley in all of it's beauty :) Just don't move here! Basically, I'd like to pay it forward for all the hosts that have made my experiences in new places so wonderful.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CouchSurfing experience was in Portland, OR. I am convinced Andreau was the best host in all of the CouchSurfing network!!! Five Stars Andreau!

Music, Movies, and Books

The Alchemist is my favorite book closely followed by Ishmael. I listen to every kind of music but only if it's good :) My favorite genre is country- not the cheesy radio crap but, artists like Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, and Gillian Welch. I may be one of the few people that likes this kind of music and also likes techno.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked in Yellowstone National Park and went out on Yellowstone Lake Mon-Fri to gillnett Lake Trout. Every day on the lake was amazing. In the park (on land), the coolest I saw was 3 Grizzly bears from 100 yards- mom, dad, and cub. The dad sprinted across the field away from us (really really fast) and the mom stood up on her hind legs (huge!).
