Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling around the US for the 2nd time in my car. I mostly camp but I'm finding times when an AirBnB or a couch are a little more convenient. I love God's awesome country and anything outdoors. And when the snow starts hitting the Rockies, that's where you'll find me skiing during the day, out with friends for a drink, or hanging out by a fire with a good book and some wine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bow hunted for Javelina when I was in my 20's. Although I was unsuccessful I am excited to have picked this sport back up and have started practicing again. I'm from a large red neck family with a long history of successful hunts so I am looking forward to gleaning some of their skills & techniques as I gear up for the next hunting season in Idaho.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not many people realize that the state of Arizona is actually home to three ski mountains. Two in the northern part of the state that is considered higher desert and one in the southern part of the state just outside of Tucson. Only the two in the north Snowbowl & Sunrise are worthy of skiing. The smallest mountain to the south called Mount Lemon only hosts 3 chair lifts. Mount Lemon is much better suited for camping, fishing, hiking, and trail running.

What I Can Share with Hosts

When I'm traveling I either have my kayaks or my ski's with me. I love to kayak alone or with a friend and I enjoy sharing my kayaks. I also have two ski instructor certifications and would for sure give you tips and tricks while out on the snow for learning or enhancing your skiing ability.

Countries I’ve Visited
