About Me

I prefer stories over souvenirs during my short time in our World.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted and been hosted. I love the people that I meet through CS. We truly can change the world one couch at a time.

(However, please no last minute requests. It's unfair to hosts as it hurts our reply % if we can't respond quick enough. Also, in my opinion, it's not really in the spirit of CS as it hinders the experience.)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I can honestly say that some of the best travel experiences I have had have come at the hands (or more appropriately on the couches) of those in this community.

Interests

I'm an avid outdoorsman...I come from a place where we have unlimited outdoor adventure right in our backyard. Climbing, guiding, fishing, hiking, rafting, all of the above are what I like.

  • traveling
  • outdoor activities
  • fishing
  • hiking
  • rock climbing
  • mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch a lot of movies, read a lot of books. I have no clue about music, but I'd love to learn about and listen to something you like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the single greatest thing I have ever done has been to see the world wake up from on top of the Rocky Mountains. There are times when, just possibly, I could have been the highest person in North America on that given day at that given time. Watching the world from the heavens is a wonderful perch.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, BBQ, places to sleep, things to do, food to cook and sights to see.
