CURRENT MISSION

To improve the world through the art of high-fives

ABOUT ME

Basically I like stories, a lot. Telling, hearing, etc. I hike, camp, backpack, boulder (a little), slackline (a bit), ski (cross-country), snowshoe, bike (commute) and fight the crap out of arthritis.
Pretty outdoorsy I guess. I also like to talk about theoretical problems, current issues, and how to save the world but forget the solution by the next day.
I am trying to figure out what to do with my life. Hm.

PHILOSOPHY

Peace is every step. Keep movin' or you'll stop movin'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Participate? In what? Sure.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Uh, not very much experience with "official" couch surfing. I have definitely slept on a lot of floors. I am a champion of floor sleeping.

Interests

Reading. Art. People who do things. Campfires. Challenges. Stacking wood (weird eh). Hiking. Camping. These are all things in all about me. Immunology, Parasitology, Health, Disease, Pathology, Oncology, general nerdy topics. Conservation. Ethos. Food. Man, I love food. Also, wine, beer, spirits. The good stuff in life. Hammocks. Sleeping.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Army of Darkness. Community, Arrested Development, the Office, Parks and Rec (TV)

Books: A lot a lot. Huge nerd for Gemmell novels even though they are almost all the same. Shantaram. The Alchemist. Crooked Cucumber. The Translator.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have survived being between a Mama and Baby Griz on a backcountry trail and got helicoptered out.

Teach, Learn, Share

How to wilderness anything. Search and Rescue. Basic First Aid theory (no certs). Basic knitting? Introduction to ridiculous competitions (see hill rolling and maximum cartwheel distance) The best High-Five tactics. Slacklining. Can research anything medical and put it in laymans terms.
