Peace loving hippie type with combat experience. Does that make me a hippie-crit? Quite often I live and travel in my conversion van. Always open and honest. Why is this about me starting to feel like one of those dating apps? Here's what you would probably actually like to know. I'm always friendly, usually smiling, and down to hang out and meet new people. That said I can also keep to myself and be perfectly happy. I keep as clean as I can when I'm on the road and do my best to be respectful of those around me. I'm no stranger to sleeping outside or in a small room packed with people and equipment. I will rarely complain about anything except maybe in jests. Loving sharing stories, maybe over a few drinks, and listening to music. I've been a AMGA mountain guide and continue to love most mountain & extreme sports. I also love a good jam session, I mostly play guitar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I'm not living in my conversion van, I'll often be hitchhiking, biking, motorcycle camping, or exploring a city. Sometimes all you'd like is a roof over your head, the use of a shower and access to a laundry machine is always awesome. I also enjoy meeting new people and swapping stories. I'll never pester anyone to hang out, but usually I'll invite anyone to adventure with me for a day if I'm staying in the area, and a local guide is always a welcome companion. Always friendly, honest, and open.
