Food, whiskey, climbing, cuddling. Not always in that order. Books over movies anytime. Fuck trump. Aliens are real. And fuck Donald trump again. Since aliens are real tho, the alien shadow government should keep him under control. I’m travelling with my best friend, a little guy named Apollo. He’s border collie and Queensland heeler. This trip is our first together, hopefully of many, and I’m using it as an opportunity to get him socialized and used to being a dirtbag climber like his human. I taught climbers for a few years at touchstone in LA, but now I live and work up in northern Nevada. I’m traveling until March, then it’s back to the grind, so I won’t be long anywhere on this trip, but I’m down for whatever while we are in town. As long as it’s puppy friendly of course☺️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I plan on carcamping most of my trip, but I love making new friends, and it would be good for Apollo to meet new people along the way. He’s a little bit of an introvert bc of the handling he got in his first home

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went from V5 to V10 in a single year

Teach, Learn, Share

I love climbing, and I love sharing that with new climbers. If I’d earned enough to fund trips like this one, I’d still be doing it! I surfed a couple times when I was young, but I’d love to get some lessons in the water!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I was a chef, so I can cook like a boss. I’m comfortable teaching beginner climbers, or anyone stuck at that v6 hump or below. And I’m a self taught “mechanic”. Happy to do brakes, oil, or most interior electronics if it’ll help someone out!
