ABOUT ME

I grew up on a farm in Montana, but took to adventure, culture and traveling as a young kid. I lived in Toronto for 4 years before moving to San Francisco.

I am involved in the tech industry, but have a simultaneous love for the outdoors and traveling. After my first solo trip to Asia, I spent 16 months traveling around the world, from Italy to Hungary, Fiji to New Zealand, Argentina, Peru and more. It's fascinating to see how other people live around the world and get to know folks from all walks of life (which is really why I also love Couchsurfing).

I love to cook, so would be glad to make a meal with any surfers. There are also lots of great restaurants and bars nearby so glad to grab a meal and chat.

PHILOSOPHY

enjoy it. create your own opportunities. be curious. try everything once.

Interests

Technology, road trips and adventures, food (cooking + eating), trying new things. I love getting out in the sun - biking, backpacking, diving, swimming.
