About Me

I'm newer to couchsurfing, but I absolutely love the idea. It's nice to go to a new place and have someone to contact or ask questions.

I love exploring, camping, music festivals, snowboarding, scuba diving, and motorcycling. I'm not looking for the touristy spots, but rather for a good experience whatever that might be. I enjoy learning about new cultures and customs, and the best way to do that is to interact with locals.

I live in Salt Lake City, Utah - a big ski town. Traveling doesn't have to be expensive. I'm supportive of those that just want to come and explore this beautiful area. So whether you are coming to Utah for the snowboarding/skiing, climbing, or just passing through on your motorcycle and need a place to sleep for the night. I'm hoping I can help with that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love going to music festivals. The last festival I went to was Drumcode (Aug 2019 Amsterdam)

Books! I love reading scifi mostly, but I'm guilty of enjoying adventure and fantasy from time to time.

I tend to like thought provoking films. I really like Charlie Kaufman, Terry Gilliam, and Danny Boyle films. Favorite 2 movies of all time, The Thing and Fifth Element.

Try to rent and ride a motorcycle, on each big trip I do. It's my favorite way to learn the landscape. Solo traveled in Greece and Egypt.
