About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Board some of the most epic terrain in North America

ABOUT ME

I'm a simple guy who never turns away from opportunity. I have one rare super power that any American would dream of.. I can eating anything, in just about any amount and not gain weight. It's a terrible curse, I know.

PHILOSOPHY

In every failure there is a lesson and those lessons will eventually lead up to a success.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Part surfer and part host.

Merced is a great little city and there are plenty of things to do in the surrounding areas. Yosemite, the Merced river, Lake Mclure & Lake Don Pedro are very close by. Get some rock climbing and hiking in, or go for a kayaking, fishing, or tubing session in the river or at the lake. Santa Cruz is 2 hours away and usually has great surf. Lake Tahoe is 3 and a half hours, a little bit further but still worth the drive every time. You can do just about any outdoor sport given the season is right.

I enjoy getting out and breaking a sweat so if you're keen for a weekend activity let me know and we'll hit the road.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met several couchsurfers through a friend who regularly hosts and hosted a few of my own - all great people with different perspective on life. I've also done some surfing in Australia and had a great time.
