About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to bring people together around a common cause

ABOUT ME

I'm a dude, stoked to be in the zone, loving life and seeking good times!!! My main hobbies outdoors are skiing, rock climbing, surfing, trekking, chilling on the beach and mountain biking and just being outdoors overall. Indoors I love to watch comedy movies, have random conversations that make people laugh, go out and hit the town dancing, entertain conversations about culture, life, etc. I've recently started my own business. I love to share good conversations about life, people, different cultures, what makes people/places/things unique.

PHILOSOPHY

Liberate your mind, free your spirit, drop your knee and climb to the top!!! Peace is a worthy goal and it starts on an individual level.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm traveling quite a bit in 2013 but i'll have plenty of hosting time in Fresno as well. I don't live near mass transit so if you have a car that's really the way to see the area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

for the first few years I was only hosting on couch surfing which is mostly the mode I'm in now. I'm really looking foreword to meeting some awesome new folks hosting at my place in Clovis. the whole CS experience has been great. I love meeting and greeting with folks from all over. When i was in seattle i hosted a few Aussie folks and had a great time picking blackberries outside my house and making jam, going down to Oregon for a climbing trip!! Awesome!!

Now that I'm in Clovis, I'm pretty centrally located 3hrs to the beach, 2 hours to Sequoia or Yosemite. I usually like to show folks I'm hosting Sequoia more than Yosemite though just because Yosemite has so many people, and my family has a sweet cabin up in Sequoia so we get into the park for free.

Interests

I'm all about outdoors activities. I climb, ski, mountain bike...my first love is climbing and if there's no climbing in town I'll MTB. I also like to slackline, surf, chill, make music, and good times. I grew up in California, so i love the sun and renewing my spirit in the outdoors in general
