About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn from those I meet and the places I visit in the hopes of becoming a better person.

ABOUT ME

I am on hiatus from the life of being a lab rat so that I can pursue my other passions in life. Right now I'm on a journey to reconnect with the natural world and learn about different perspectives in life from a variety of people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm solely a surfer at this point because when I'm not crashing on someone's couch I live out of my Dodge Truck.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have always loved to support my friends in their travels by giving them a place to stay and showing them around my area. It is very meaningful to me when someone I know does the same for me.

Interests

I'm an avid rock climber as well as a seasoned snowboarder.

  • traveling

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the opportunity to travel to Zambia in 2012 to see where my sister lives, She is a Peace Corp Volunteer and was living in a rural village. I was able to share my experiences and learn from others. She lived minimally and it taught me a lot about what I need in life and grew the seed that started the journey I am on today.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love taking people out in the outdoors and I can teach snowboarding and rock climbing in a fun and safe manner.
