CURRENT MISSION

strike lightning with our lungs and our legs. crash thunder with our giving hands

ABOUT ME

I am a wildland firefighter and my fiancé is studying wilderness education as well as working a few jobs in the community. We live for the outdoors but when we are inside music and art is almost surely being made. We have not done as much international traveling as we would like but have been back and forth across this country to many times to count. We are from the east coast but our adventure tends to lie in the west.

PHILOSOPHY

Get off the couch asshole.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I cycled from Pittsburgh to Chicago last year and cs members hosted my tired ass in Bowling Green, Notre Dame, and Chicago. I met some amazing people through cs and have tried to spread the word of its potential.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

friends have recommended and commended the site but until i tried it for myself i never really new how wonderful it is. And my head has laid on more then a few hostel pillows while traveling central america.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

a couple months ago a climbed a volcano in a group of about 15 on lago de atitlan in guatemala and about flipped my lid. it was probably the most amazing view i had ever witnessed. i have done some pretty cool stuff and have had some amazing adventures. if i were to die tomorrow i could say i lived the life i wanted to live.

Teach, Learn, Share

i dont know shit. thats the first thing i could teach maybe. who knows. but the power of the collective conscious can turn any dream into a reality. if we could listen a little more and talk a little less the world might just let you know what its thinkin.
