CURRENT MISSION

Right now I'm traveling around Asia for 4 weeks. China, Nepal, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. A little for fun, a little to shoot some videos in Nepal for the World Ranger Congress. I love meeting people as I travel!

ABOUT ME

In 2014 I had an amazing 2 month bicycling adventure from Vancouver, CA to Ensenada, MX. I had so many great experiences meeting people along the way, and even got to do some couchsurfing.

I'm into Movie making, Photography, Going on Impromptu Adventures, Biking, Climbing, Reading, Writing, Philosophy, Drinking Good Beer, Laughing, And Rocking Out on the Guitar.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once, so you better go all out. I want to travel, go on adventures, and create awesome films, stories, and experiences in hopes to contribute something worthwhile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I'm doing more traveling, but hopefully I will be able to pay it forward someday and host some fellow couchsurfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was on a rock climbing trip in Chattanooga, TN and my friend Nick and I were going to crash in our car in a parking lot. But we met a really cool couple at a bar and they offered us a place to stay. We didn't want to impose at 1st, but when we realized it was going to get super cold that night we took them up on it. It was an awesome time, they were great people, and we had a blast. So now I'm stoked about couch surfing!
