I'm passionate about about making and listening to music, climbing on, and dreaming about mountains, running, biking, lifting, eating organic, paleo food, exploring the woods or cities, photography, urbanism, pouring over old maps, studying wikipedia, critiquing urban planning, and reading the newspaper.

I play fiddle, and I do cognitive skills brain training too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the concept. Traveling is way more than just crossing off points of interest. My favorite trips have been amazing because of the people I've met and unique situations I've been in. Traveling is always more rewarding than "vactioning".
