I am an adventurous guy who loves getting to relate to others in real and genuine ways through experiences in nature, sports, music, and local foods.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanted to see what this was about and support a good cause for seeing the world be a bit smaller.

Interests

I love being outdoors camping, hiking, skiing, rock climbing, backpacking, and also getting to learn from others with their heritage, culture, and perspective on life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Give me some of that Kaleo and Tobe Nwigwe, or sit me down with Studio Ghibli and Christopher Nolan and I will be entertained. Give me any good book and I will eat it up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have slept in the parking lot of Old Faithful to catch geysers erupting under the stars. Definitely would recommend, except for the part about sleeping in my car.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach physics, guitar basics, ukulele basics, juggling basics, and would love to learn how to get better at guitar and how to be a better rock climber, camper, and guide for others in the great outdoors.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, a song or two on my ukulele, and a partner for adventures/board games/discover a new town/restaurant/park/recipe
