CURRENT MISSION

Increase local knowledge - promote safe travel - learn about everything (one idea at a time)

ABOUT ME

I grew up on a little farm in Southern Idaho. I worked in the construction industry for about 13 years. I'm a veterinarian that specializes in large animals. I love the outdoors, and have more hobbies than any sane person really should entertain. My passions are food and fishing, mmm inter-relation. I also love to travel!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't been able to host for about a year now, but am hoping to offer a couch once I get set up again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, my hosting and being hosted experiences have been great. I love meeting new people, especially travelers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: water world, snatch, the fifth element, wild hearts can't be broken, the piano

Music: classical and romantic, folk, bluegrass, country old and new, alternative rock, classic rock, punk, some heavy metal, sinatra-esque, opera/ballet, very few r&b

Books: the poisonwood bible, collected works of eecummings, the old man and the sea, 501 spanish verbs, collins english/spanish dictionary, my clinical pathology notes, the regular bible (though honestly, I don't know if I'll ever finish it) such a good reference though

Teach, Learn, Share

Okay, don't give your dog raisins. Some can eat a pound and others only a few before going into renal failure (bad news for the kidneys). As a general rule - give dogs dog food and not people food, that just makes it easy to remember what they can and can't have (health-wise).
