About Me

***It's been a while since I've hosted people. I want to say that I'm really only interested in hosting cyclists. Please send me a message if you're riding long distances.

CURRENT MISSION

To set right what once went wrong

ABOUT ME

Life comes by and you got to make the most of it right? So, when I see a tree, I climb it. A road gets biked. And a frisbee gets thrown. I'm a pescetarian, a non-smoker, and a punky nerdy type. I love conversation and travel to meet people and experience events.

PHILOSOPHY

I am currently trapped inside of a little box that is rapidly filling with text. I feel that soon I will be squeezed out, forced to live among all these other colors - yellows and beiges. Actually, there aren't too many colors. Time is running out, so let me say that life is truly wonderful once you let go of Should Be's and Outta Be's. Making the most of what you got and what other people got is wonderful. Also, robots and flowers are beautiful things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught English in China for four summers in a rural town. Went to a wrestling camp in the country of Georgia when I was in high school. Went to the World Expo in Shanghai last year. Traveled to Europe for the first time this summer. I biked 1700 miles from Amsterdam to Barcelona. It was incredible and I have lots of stories.
