Retired pole vaulter. Full-time Dad-o. Multi-sport coach. I love to travel and explore with my family.

My wife and I used couchsurfer in Europe a lot. All references are there (Annie Burlingham) as this is a new account. I'll be taking a few trips solo in the next month or two so I started my own account.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used it all over Europe, (via my wife's acct.) and we're amazed at how much richer it made the trip. It's great to see a place like the locals do.

Interests

Since I stopped pole vaulting I have gotten really into mountain biking. It has made traveling even more fun because I have a new way to explore when I travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Classic rock, superhero movies, my favorite book right now is "Boys in the Boat".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed the highest Klettersteg in Switzerland. So awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share experiences with new people. My wife and I have used couch surfing all over Europe and hosted a couple times. We like to go out and do things with our hosts like mountain bike, wake board, sledding, climbing, swimming, etc. We live in a place full of recreational opportunities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A place to sleep and as much or as little direction and company as they'd like. My wife, son, and I enjoy sharing our beautiful region and all the cool stuff there is to do.
