About Me

ABOUT ME I like to play sports, travel, and learn about the world through experiences, people, and cultures. I teach Physical Education. Love to live life like there is no tomorrow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I offer people my couch and I try to sleep on others people's couches as much as I can. In my humble opinion couchsurfing is a beautiful reflection of humans, and brings out the good in all of us who participate.

Interests

Playing Ultimate, soccer, sailing, swimming in creeks, hiking, having fun with friends, good beer, and I do have a profession and went to grad school - I enjoy my teaching profession.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have sailed up and down the CA coast on a tall ship when I was 15 years old. I sailed from Norway to Scotland and have sailed from San Francisco to Hawaii twice. Tahoe, Bali, Central America, hikes and climbs.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to meet all sorts of people. You can learn something from almost anyone really, it depends on your approach to life. It’s fun to share those things with strangers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share laughter, stories, hopefully friendship, and most certainly gratitude. I will be very thankful you let me stay with you.
