About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Key West Florida to Prudhoe Bay Alaska by bicycle!
My friend Bianca and I start our journey in Key West on March 11th and will wiggle our way diagonally across the USA then up through Canada and finish around the end of July at the top of Alaska.
Can we camp in your lawn? :)

ABOUT ME

We both work in the arts- Bianca works in radio and podcasting and I do freelance sculpture fabrication and am a visual artist. I’d love to draw you and Bianca would love to interview you!
This, by far is out longest and most ambitious bike tour and we are excited to meet you!

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Bianca and I will be surfing from Florida to Alaska! I also host when I’m able to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I’ve had a handful of wonderful surfing and hosting experiences. When I was traveling in Germany many year ago, many kind hosts invited me and my partner at the time into their homes and usually we cooked for them!
When I was living on a farm in upstate New York, I hosted a women doing a solo bike tour which has remained incredibly inspiring for me.

Interests

Sketching and painting, bicycling, roller skating
Anything outdoors or involving working with my hands
Foraging for wild foods
