CURRENT MISSION

learn as much as I can

ABOUT ME

I like interacting with the world around me, and traveling by bicycle, train, canoe, skis, and my own two legs! I like meeting new people that inspire me! (that photo up there was taken four years ago)

PHILOSOPHY

be humble and inspired, and stay busy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can potentially host women/gender queer folks for a few days. I live with kids so guys traveling alone I've never met - probably not.

Interests

Music, violin-family instruments. Hiking, sailing, canoeing. Alaska, the Yukon, and the north in general. Seeing grizzly bears from a canoe. Hiking on a ridge and looking down at river valleys on either side. Watching porpoises swim along side the bow of the boat on the salt water.
