I'm a biologist and gardener. I love flowers, trees, and mountains. I build things, and I used to work on boats. I recently worked for a nursery and orchard specializing in rare and unusual fruit and nut trees. My partner Lauren (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/laurenolean) and I lived in the country near Chehalis with our cat Chamomile and our many plants. As of December 2024, we are traveling indefinitely and looking forward to meeting new people.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I believe that people are essentially good, and that when we trust others instead of fearing the unknown we open ourselves to incredible kindness and wonderful surprises
