I am a student of nature and the built environment. I love pursuing activities that bring me closer to nature. I am an avid climber, hiker, surfer, and free diver. I take great interest in finding the hidden treasures the world has to offer and sharing those with others around me. I work in the construction industry. My passion will hopefully lead me to building eco-lodges in remote places. In part helping to conserve this beautiful world we live in. I am outgoing, enjoy cooking, a cold beer, dancing, sunsets and good music. With good music anything and everything is better.

I am married to a beautiful wife who I backpacked for a year with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Exploring this world is my adventure. I know many like minded people exist out there who share that. This platform allows me to share my beautiful city with others, meet fascinating people, make connections. Have fun.
