ABOUT ME

When I'm not working with people with developmental disabilities, I'm a backpacking, song writing, rock climbing guy with a bad train hopping habit.

If you have trouble finding a host, Spenard Hostel International is really cool. http://www.alaskahostel.org/

PHILOSOPHY

"If you are a dreamer come in! If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a pray-er, a magic-bean-buyer, If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire for we have some flax golden tales to spin."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host! I've only been a guest a couple times in Spokane and I loved it.

Interests

I love backpacking, rock-climbing, songwriting, herbalism, krav maga, and wilderness survival techniques almost as much as I love telling the one joke that I know!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to disarm someone coming at you with a knife... but only if your attacker doesn't really know what they're doing... On second thought, if you're being attacked with a knife, just run away.

So I guess if you could teach me how to disarm someone with a knife, that would be great. Otherwise I'm always very interested in learning the names of plants, trees, etc.
