My two favorite human inventions are parks and bicycles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The cost-savings are alluring, but really its the idea that we can get more personal experiences when visiting somewhere new, rather than just looking at a list of "10 things to do in ______." I'm here to become a global citizen.

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently I've been listening to a lot of bluegrass, blues, and jam bands.
I'm currently reading some Alan Watts, but I usually prefer a good work of fiction, like Mark Twain for humor, or Jack London if I feel like diving deep into the woods.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went backpacking in the mountains last week. Towering spruces, open meadows, glacier-capped peaks, soaring hawks, and wildflowers of every color.
