CURRENT MISSION

Travel the globe and make it home in time for dinner

ABOUT ME

I want to travel and see new places! And when I'm not doing that, I love hanging out and hiking around the places I already know. I love a good adventure. I consider myself friendly, engaging, trustworthy, cool-headed and reasonable, and easy to get along with.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is nothing if not an adventure.
"Impossible" means nothing to those who choose their own destiny
Fear - the thief of dreams

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I have not had the privilege of hosting many people. In my travels I have been hosted many, many times by many, many wonderful and generous individuals. Each one of them gave me a special experience and a unique memory to carry with me the rest of my life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had wonderful experiences CouchSurfing around the U.S. and Europe. Being on the road for months at a time, I got to spend a lot of time with many generous hosts, and I've made many friends in the process. Thanks CSers for making my journeys so wonderful!

Interests

I love hiking and exploring new areas I've never seen. I love adventures! Trying new things, seeing new places, and meeting new people are what I like to do. While not roaming the Earth, I enjoy playing games with my friends, eating ice cream and brownies, brewing beer, bicycling and hiking, dreaming about self-sufficient living, and visiting a local pub now and then. I've recently gotten into rock climbing and would love to get really good at it. When I'm not doing any of these things, I can usually be found curled up with a good book and a tasty beverage.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not a picky movie connoisseur but I love a good action/adventure flick, some sci-fi/fantasy, or anything entertaining. Even cheesy films can be good if you can laugh at them! I must say, though, that BSG is one of the best shows out there. If you don't know what BSG means, you've never seen it :P
All types of music; basically, if I think it sounds good, then it is good.
I love reading, and I love reading all kinds of books. Again, I'm not too picky; just make it an interesting read and I'll go for it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to shoot a rifle (good ol' American country boy pastime) and how to ride a motorcycle. I'm up for learning anything, and in exchange I've got a fair number of adventure stories to share.
