CURRENT MISSION

The perfect bloody mary

ABOUT ME

I have always been drawn to blank spaces because they represent an infinite potential for creation.

PHILOSOPHY

Buy the ticket, take the ride!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will sleep on your couch and, if I don't have to get up for work at 5:00am the next day, you can sleep on mine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only done it once (officially) and it was one of the most positive experiences of my life. Looking forward to new adventures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I see something that amazes me pretty much everyday. The world is an amazing place. I love Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. I spend summers working at a remote fishing lodge there where I have had staring contests with bears, licked fresh Coho blood from my fingers, experienced hypothermia and gone on some of the most amazing hikes of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmmm... not sure what I can teach, but if you're into having a couple of drinks and spending an evening discussing ANYTHING, I'm sure we'll both learn something. I especially enjoy politics, journalism, art, philosophy, music, fishing and literature.
