CURRENT MISSION

Presently I'm working and living in the PNW while maintaining a vegan lifestyle. My current goals include repairing an old sailboat (my old live-aboard vessel) and splashing her into the Columbia river.

ABOUT ME

I've got 3 siblings; I'm the oldest. We call Tucson, AZ home, which has afforded us many outdoor adventures in a variety of climates. I'm always looking to connect with quality people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted when I had room and surfed when I needed to. If you need a place to stay in my hometown (Tucson, AZ), send me a message, and I may be able to help accommodate you (though I don't live there any more).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch surfed and hosted when I could over the past several years, and I've met some wonderful people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the Chinese New Year. Everything frozen solid; fireworks 24/7; it was truly awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned (and would advise) that skyping someone briefly before you surf with or host them goes a long way toward feeling out how well you will click.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a guest, I'd like to pull my weight. I'm a mean dishwasher and a mule when it comes to manual labor. I do tech support and my own automotive work. I find the best experiences usually arise whilst serving others.
