CURRENT MISSION

"To triumph is in holding fast to dreams and maintaining, if only momentarily, the spirit of self." Langston Hughes

ABOUT ME

I am of the snow...skiing, skiing, skiing but then...(in no particular order) wake surfing, mountain biking, boating/sailing, golf, scuba diving, hiking, laying in a hammock, reading, swimming, trying to surf, sleeping outside, cruiser biking, drinking good red wine and cheap beer with friends, chair fighting, deep sea fishing, white water rafting, working on my goggle tan, shooting guns, skinny dipping, beach cabanas, outdoor showers, sitting by the water at the end of the day, camping, horseback riding, watching the alpenglow fade, beer darts and foosball, unnecessary naps, sledding, hot tubs and infinity pools, hot springs, snow caves, vacations and travel, meeting interesting people...but most of all, above all else...the thought of sharing this wonderful life with my kiddo.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is beautiful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined thinking I'd travel more and primarily be the guest....as it turns out I haven't been a guest even once, but I love hosting interesting people from all around the world! One day, I'll travel more!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many things to choose just one, but for the sake a quick moment, my four year old seems the most fasinated with these stories: Scuba diving with giant Manta Rays swooping over overhead in the warm night waters of Kona...Putting out a house fire by hand after a huge lightning strike in a cabin way off the grid, high in the Selkirk Mountains of Idaho....Ending a year Heli skiing in The Great White North (Canada) and then starting the New Year doing the same thing....Waking up covered in ash from the Mt. St. Helens eruption....and endless stories of the solitude and unbelievable beauty of nature....anywhere, anytime.
