I'm a simple guy who is traveling around North America with backpacking gear, climbing gear, a laptop, and a robust spirit for adventure and new friendships!

I have spent most of my life in California including San Diego, Del Mar, Escondido, San Luis Obispo, and San Francisco.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've slept on a bunch of friends' couches, but maybe it would be really cool and convenient to meet some strangers, check out some new places, and do new things via CouchSurfing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Snake Dike on Half Dome in Yosemite. Rode 100 miles in a day on a bike. Left a job for the need to adventure.

:D

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to bring others on adventures where I can make them feel comfortable in new, perhaps uncomfortable situations. I also like cooking and eating simple healthy foods.

Teach me about your local plants, trees, geology, and culture!

What I Can Share with Hosts
