I am very much in love with life and do my best to enjoy each moment as it comes.

I'm currently pursuing creative avenues of work. Whether it be photography, art, design, composing, or other ways of expressing oneself, I'd like to offer something beautiful to the world and to others. I also host on AirBnB because I can help fellow travelers during their stay. It also helps me pursue creative work. A rewarding way of connecting with others and sharing.

I enjoy hiking, mountain biking, fencing, reading, fly fishing, photography, art, design, and geocaching. I also enjoy traveling internationally, notably, I've been to UK, Scotland, Portugal, and Spain. Love animals, however, just a bit allergic to some--need to wash hands after petting, or I get itchy eyes and sneeze a lot.

I'm in to eating organic food as much as possible and do my best to stay away from chemicals. I prefer natural smells over marketed chemicals. I also prefer hypo allergenic soap and detergents, I've sensitive skin which has reacted to some detergents. I typically bring all my own natural products I would like to use when I travel for personal hygiene.

I enjoy a good English breakfast tea--which I typically bring traveling. Presently, I avoid coffee and infrequently imbibe--small portions. I avoid dairy, and gluten--due to allergies.

My partner, Kyrie, often accompanies me on travel. She is very loving and full of life.

I try to be a courteous traveler and clean up after myself. If you decide to welcome me into your home, I will do my best to be respectful.

Thank you and be well,

Chris

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm trying out Couchsurfing because it seems like a great way to share space with folks while traveling. I've enjoyed AirBnB so much, I thought I'd give Couchsurfing a try!
