CURRENT MISSION

Adventure is where it's at! Traveling, exploring, meeting new people, anything!

ABOUT ME

I am an adventurer through and through and always have been! I love exploring new places, even in my own backyard. I am a fairly driven person, but fairly relaxed at the same time! LOL

PHILOSOPHY

I try to do the best I can to treat others as I would like to be treated. I think it's important to show genuine interest in what others are saying when they are talking, you may learn something when you pay attention.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I travel I like to really experience the journey, camping or surfing really helps with that. Motels are SO boring...and expensive! Plus, with couchsurfing you get to meet such interesting people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I like hosting when I'm not out exploring myself! I stay in my car Stella quite a bit just because most of the time my trips are pretty spontaneous! I'm working on planning a little in advance so I can surf a little more!

Interests

I love mountaineering and climbing. I have also been a caver for most of my life, it's a cool sport because not too many people like crawling underground, keeps it a little more secluded! I also LOVE snowboarding, surfing, and wakeboarding! I enjoy driving backroads and exploring old mines and ghost towns too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Treasure Island has been my favorite book since I was a kid, such an adventure! One Mans West, great book.
Movie wise...hmmmmm, I LOVE A River Runs Through It! Haha
Classic 80's movies too. In the fall and winter I watch a lot of snowboard movies to make me think I can do the stuff that I watch!
I'm totally hooked on The Naked And Famous right now! I listen to them every day. I love most kinds of music, some more than others...it changes on my mood I guess!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Awestruck....hmmmmmm, how about lightning struck? I have been inadvertently struck 3 times! LOL
My most memorable moments are usually in the mountains, I've had so many...

Teach, Learn, Share

World travelers and people who have done major treks, hearing about their experiences is so grounding.
