CURRENT MISSION

To blur the line between work and play...

ABOUT ME

I just moved into my 2000 Toyota Tacoma, quit my job, and became a running/climbing/traveling dirtbag...And I couldn't be happier :)

Heading to South America at the end of December for a year or so as well.

PHILOSOPHY

Dream as though you will live forever. Live as though you will die today.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always eager to meet with members for coffee/beer or breakfast/lunch/dinner.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nearly all of my CS experiences have involved meeting fellow members at electronic music events in the US and Europe.

However, I have hosted one CS member who was on a bicycle tour across the United States. It was a joy to host, share stories, cook together, and hang out. I would love to have the opportunity to host more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Is it possible to list just one? I don't think so. That's why I have listed several :)

-Machu Picchu as the finish line for a marathon run
-The Alps!!!
-Sunset from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, USA
-Running in the woods as the sun is rising and the rays start piercing through the trees to light up the trails

Teach, Learn, Share

I am somewhat knowledgeable about physical fitness. I could teach people about running workouts and possibly even weightlifting workouts (even though I don't lift weights much anymore). I would love to go out for a run with any CS members. I could also share some pretty interesting travel stories.

I would like to learn about any culture different than mine. I would like other people to share their travel/life experiences. I would also really like to learn yoga since I am just a beginner.
