Hello, I am a professional chef from Florida. I have been working in Alaska for the summer near Denali National Park. It has been a great experience exploring the 49th State and hiking through the Park. I like to ride mountain bikes and travel when I'm not working. I love going to unfamiliar places, trying new food, and meeting new people. Cheers! & Salud!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently traveling from Alaska to Portland for a full time job and would like to meet some good people along the way. As I get older I am realizing that life is what I make it and more importantly that my thoughts control my outcome in life. I believe in the universal law of karma, or what energy you put out will be returned by life in one way or another.
