Hi! I'm Zeke, a fellow traveler in this mortal sojourn. I've just started a renewed period of nomadry and travel after a few years of starting a company and being settled.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just kicked off a multiyear period of nomading and traveling with a big solo bicycle tour, I'm approaching 1,000 miles and am enjoying it thoroughly! Next year I plan to move to Colombia for a year or more of teaching English, learning Spanish, and bicycling around South America.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked and WOOFed around the German speaking countries, Denmark, and the Balkans (where I used couch surfing in the early days of the site!). Was a firefighter for the Forest Service for several years stateside, got sent all over and saw all kinds of crazy stuff.
