My current mission is to explore the endless and untapped rock climbing potential in Scandinavia. Also I want to learn Spanish, fill a swimming pool with Jello, spend more time in the wilderness, and change the face of modern education.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Technically I am a first time couch surfer! Although I have spent the majority of the past 5 years traveling, and living on the road.

Interests

Above all else, I love the outdoors and being active. I''m an experienced rock climber, white water canoe and kayaker, coastal kayaker, and back packer.

But, I'm not just a one sided adrenaline junky, I'm also interested in science, education, medicine, journalism, writing, learning Spanish, cooking, and traveling.

Teach, Learn, Share

For work I'm an outdoor educator and teacher. I love taking people on outdoor adventures , teaching them the skills involved, and exposing them to the outdoor experiences that have become the guiding force in my life. Whether thats a 1 hour hiking trip, a white water paddling expedition, or a day of rock climbing.
