About Me

My fiance and I enjoy traveling the western US, Mexico, and Canada in our trusty old 4Runner seeking rough remote backroads and desolation. We enjoy meeting people in small towns along the way and experiencing the land away from the crowds. We currently live a seasonal lifestyle that has us moving around the West every 6 months or so.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As someone who has lived in a lot of small outdoor towns around the western US, I enjoy changing my perspective and meeting new people.

Interests

I enjoy exploring the backcountry. Road trips, off-roading, overland-style trips are my passion. Along the way, I enjoy hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, dirt biking, etc. Always seeking out off-the-beaten-path gems. Hot springs are always a favorite joy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy exploring different and new music. My go-to genres are old-school hip-hop or country. I often find myself listening to podcasts though. Usually classics like RadioLab, This American Life, Serial, Risk, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summited Mt Shasta, top 10 finish at Downhill Mountain Bike National Championships, canoed the Boundary Waters, visited 48 US states and over 150+ National Parks.
