CURRENT MISSION

Live with Intention.

ABOUT ME

I am a 25 year old guy whose passion is connected to travel and being outdoors! When I travel I seek to not only see a place but to experience it. The last couple of years I have spent my summers fighting fire and in the winter I travel. Bike touring has been my primary and preferred method of travel last two winters and I believe it to be the best mode to see and experience foreign lands and cultures. I have been fairly inactive from couchsurfing over the last couple of years, not being able to host, but for a while I was very active in it and would like to delve back into the community.

Besides travelling, I am very active in the outdoors and an active person in general. I pursuit living a healthy, well rounded lifestyle. I enjoy cooking and creating in the kitchen. I am a vegetarian. I like to ferment foods and beverages. I enjoy cooking for others. For me, sharing a meal is a bonding experience that can bring even strangers close together. I enjoy meaningful conversation and meeting new people!
