CURRENT MISSION

They say it's not the destination that counts; It's the journey. I believe it! I'm out to have fun, meet new people, and see as many new places as possible.

ABOUT ME

Travel is learning. I've enjoyed living and exploring Missoula, Montana, going to school, Driggs, Idaho, Jackson, Wyoming, San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, Crested Butte and Telluride, Colorado, Valdez, Juneau, Sitka, and Kodiak Island, Alaska, and Western Washington

I'm a lover of life. I'm addicted to the elements; Snow, Sun, Water, Fire, Ice =) Skiing, snowboarding, surfing, fishing, camping, hiking, loving, laughing. I love meeting new people, seeing new things, and learning and sharing.

PHILOSOPHY

Love is my religion =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am willing to open up my home - wherever that might be at the time - and show somebody around "My neck of the Woods". It's been my experience that traveler's are usually like-minded. I'm all about swapping stories, adventure's, pointers for travel, and life in general.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met such amazing people couch surfing! I think this is possibly THE BEST resource for solo, single travelers looking to find an authentic experience in a new place. I love meeting new people from different backgrounds, and sharing my own experience!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Totally immersed myself in the culture of the Western Hemisphere's 2nd poorest country....on my own....by accident. Turns out, it was almost impossible for me to leave =)

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been inspired by different people, different cultures, and my own personal experiences. For all of it, I'm a better, more well-rounded person. Because of the impact all of this has had on me, I can't wait to hear how it may have affected others---or just inspire some one else to get out there!
