I'm a laid back guy with a nerd streak for good conversation on any topic. I enjoy podcasts, audio books, reading, writing and anything that stimulates thought. I like to jump out of perfectly good airplanes, slackline, hike, mountain bike, fish...

Lakes, swimming pools, rivers, oceans, saunas or hot springs? OH YEAH count me in! I'm a fish out of water! Throw in a perfect craft beer and I'm a happy man :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling alone has its merits, but it's nice to meet new people on the road who know the local hot spots or might go to the gym, do some indoor climbing, a little yoga, make some hot tea or coffee and relax, take a scenic hike or drive and share stories or converse for hours!
