These days I'm a guide for folks who want to explore the Southwest region. Day hikes, wine tours, van tours, backpacking, and more.
I spent 10 years in university and earned 6a handful of degrees, mostly in the natural sciences like Environmental Science and Geology.
I'm an open book, feel free to ask me anything.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and see their world. I don't use this often as I mostly couchsurf with friends, so it's only a partial representation of my couchsurfing experience. On my bike tour I used Warmshowers quite a bit. But let's connect!

Algo increíble que he hecho

Trekked 160km through the Grand Canyon mostly solo with a boat in my bag in late 2019
Survived living through an Icelandic winter from Jan-April 2018
Bike toured 1,600 km from Mexicali to Los Cabos Baja 2017
Drove 160,000+ km around America 2017-2019
(that's the equivalent of four laps around the world at the equator!)

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I'm really want to learn Spanish but I struggle with remembering my vocabulary. I used to teach observational Astronomy, Geography, and Geology at the college level. Let me show you how to make homemade mayonnaise! It's way too easy
