About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have fun...

ABOUT ME

I'm laid back, bit of a dreamer, hard working (well more accurately- always working), willing to lend a hand, into trying new things, curious about the world and different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live a more unusual life, and experience things off the beaten track. And when I'm traveling I love to just see where the wind takes me and not have too many plans.. its more adventurous that way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to surf and host, although I've not been hosting so much since I've started traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've always had really good couch surfing experiences, sometimes it can get a bit strange- but I at least have a good story to tell in those instances.

Interests

I've traded everything in to go traveling, and learn new stuff. This winter I am in Japan, skiing and snowboarding and generally having a good time, and this summer I hope to travel across Japan on a bicycle. Last summer I was in California, doing some painting and ceramics, rock climbing, surfing and relaxing with friends. I spent a winter in France skiing and snowboarding.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got chased down Mount Pilchuck by a baby bear- not sure if awestruck was quite the feeling I was having at the time.
I found Tallin, Estonia to be really amazing, the old medieval buildings are gorgeous, and I couldn't believe the glassmaking I saw there.
Spent a month traveling around Europe on the back of a motorcycle, wild camping and meeting up with friends.
