About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Oh! The places I'll go!

ABOUT ME

I'm a senior in an online high school with too many dreams in my head to decide what to do. When I graduate I'll be trekking around Europe for five months and then i'm off to South America after that. In the meantime, I'm a laid back guy down for anything.

PHILOSOPHY

Do it up and it's all good have always been my mottos. I'm game for anything and if it doesn't turn out perfectly, well that's just part of the experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to have been surfing, but I'm very much looking forward to graduating and surfing the world next summer! In the meantime I'd love to host some surfers here in a beautiful corner of the Black Hills.

Interests

I'm into photography, rock climbing, triathlons, races, mountain biking, writing, slacklining, cliff jumping, skiing, snowboarding, and anything else under the sun. I love the outdoors in almost any venture, and I'm always game for anything or to try something new.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love em all. I fly by the mantra of ignorance is bliss in this respect and don't care to be a connoisseur. I'm just in it for entertainment pretty much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two experiences come to mind most vividly. I participated in the Dakota Five-Oh. Fifty miles of technical single track mountain bike trails. It was brutal and painful and amazing. The second was a 200 mile, 12 man, 28 hour relay from Ft. Collins to Steamboat CO. Both of these pushed me to the edge of my endurance and then off the cliff completely. They showed me that sometimes life just doesn't give a shit about the limits you set for yourself. You don't have an option; you just have to put one foot in front of the other and continue moving forward.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I don't consider myself an expert in any avocation, but I can teach and share a little photography, how to rock climb, slackline, and whatever else. I'm game for learning anything I can. I'd love to learn any language and especially more Spanish as I've already invested slightly in that venture.
