Living a simple life. Walking is the best way to see a place. Big fan of a good craft brew.

History is awesome, I love the stories and contexts of places and people. I love games: card games, board games, nerdy role-playing games, even an occasional video game.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why not? Staying with someone you've never met is like overnight hitchhiking- everyone says it's a bad idea and there are lots of crazy people, but the truth is most are nice, normal, concerned, curious, unique creatures that find it amusing to stick a foreigner on a blow up mattress.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked the Arizona Trail... walked 800 miles from Mexico to Utah in 74 days, and it is the most compete, connecting, incredible thing I've done to date. I had no idea there were wild peccerys in the States!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have my tarot deck, and would be happy to give a reading. There are only three things we really want to know about: our businesses, our relationships, and our health. If you're not into hocus pocus, I am also happy to arrive with groceries or your favorite brew.
