CURRENT MISSION

To see the world on many different ways of transportation. I want to live life to the fullest and be happy as much as possible. I want to touch both ends of the planet and sleep a night in every time zone.

ABOUT ME

I'm an adventure enthusiast. I enjoy traveling to new regions and experiencing life as the locals live. I just like to play and I'm trying to live my life by that mantra. I've experienced a lot and I like to share stories with people. I can cook and bake tasty treats. I'm a fan of music and sitting outside when it's breezy. I like mandarin oranges straight out of the can and homemade baked goods. I'm a fan of cheap mystery novels and female singers. Im always in the mood to learn new and exciting things.

PHILOSOPHY

The most important thing in the life is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a huge fan of listening and telling stories. I think a way to get out and experience stories of your own, people need to travel. Not only will they see exciting and new places, they will meet new people. They will hear more stories and create their own. I enjoy hosting people so I can be that little connection.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed at a person's house will visiting in town for a race and I've eaten a lunch with somebody because of a plane delay. I love traveling and sharing a place for someone who is.

Interests

Bike polo, cyclocross, mountain biking, kayaking, cycling, trail running, caving, and pretty much anything else that involves being outside. I like the farmer's market and meeting cool people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a month kayaking a river in a part of the country I had never visited. I got to live life at a relaxed pace and enjoy the small things in life that are normally taken for granted. I encountered few people but the ones I did meet were extremely hospitable. I even met up with a few couch surfers.

I worked at a residential drug therapy program where I worked with youth in an outdoor setting. Throughout my time at that program I was able to watch the children tranform into young adults with a drive to embrace life in a healthy way.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, South Korea
