I love nature and believe strongly in the power of people. We're capable of anything if we put our minds to it, so always challenge yourself! I'm always looking to meet someone new and learn something new.

In the past I traveled a lot internationally, but lately I'm looking more to home. The US is big, beautiful, and fascinating in its own right, and I love exploring it via bike, bus, and train.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the community around couchsurfing, the kindness and humanity that goes into opening up your home for a fellow traveler, and how much it can make you feel at home in a strange foreign land.

Interests

Cooking, reading, singing, and spending time outdoors. Some days I'm a total homebody and stay in bed all day, others I'm backpacking, bike touring, or running triathlons.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots of music... bluesy instrumentation, r&b, soul music, jazz, classical music, British rock.

Shantaram is a long time favorite novel. I could also read A Tree Grows In Brooklyn over and over again

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 2 months biking and camping down the Pacific coast from Vancouver to Tijuana. The whole ride is so beautiful, the west coast is WEIRD, and crossing borders on bike is the by far the best way to go
