About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To create, show others how to create and pass on the understanding anything is possible!!!!! Learning languages, making as many friends as possible and seeing the world.

I consider myself a modern renaissance man. I live in beautiful Park City, Utah. For a quick look at me check out my Instagram at "lets carve stone" or my website letscarvestone .com more links will be up soon.

This is important please read my whole profile before sending me any requests to stay with me.

Winter 2024! Let’s shred some pow!!!!

Sundance! If your in a film or a volunteer please inquire about couch surfing. I like to help the people that need it.

I am picky to whom I allow to surf during the winter, if you can write an actual message and relay why I should let you stay especially if you have no references please write. The worst that will happen is I will say no I am not available.

If you’ve never couchsurfed before and ask to stay for a few weeks or month regardless if you have references please fuck off! My spot is for active couch surfers with references not cheap individuals that just don’t want to pay the crazy $$ to stay in hotels or air b&bs. This is not the couch surfing experience or what couch surfing is all about.

If your new and are thinking about it then write an actual message please.

As you see above I am a stone carver and I am very interested in promoting my business. I would love to sit down and carve as much as possible at my home studio with any one that is interested.

If you’ve never been to Park city before please contact me I can give you a plethora of information and or schedule a time to talk and can give you more details on what to expect.

————————-

To all CF coming to vist PC for skiing or snowboarding not during SUNDANCE (see sundance info)
I always have very few days off bit ride as much as I can when not working in a morning. I have an epic pass and plan to use it almost every day!!! I’ve lived in Park City for 16 winters now, and have a lot of insider info and powderstashes Cross your fingers for snow!!!!!

My place is amazing!!!! I have my own duplex I share with no one but me, myself and I! Depending on your group I could fit a lot of people here. I have a guest bedroom! And a wrap around window bench that very comfy.
I pride myself being active and having both hosted and CS around the world. I do host first timers but host first and for most active CS with references from hosts or CS they have hosted. Being where I am located in Park City makes me take my hosting more seriously. I see it as a reward for CS’s who are active in the community. I live 5-7 mins walking from Main Street Park City, with a guest bedroom and guest uncovered parking spot in mother fuckening Park City!!!!! It is a gem and I am very excited to share with CS this winter season.

If you stay I will ask if your okay with being Interviewed and talk about CS and your experiences, if your not a fan being in front of the camera not a problem.

A few musts though, are you will be required if time permits to play Cards!!!! I know a lot of fun easy games to play. The best have to do is Carve Stone!!!! Thats right we will carve Utah Alabaster!!! And if your here more then a day you can work on it at you leisure. Check out my website chiselandstoneworkshop.com.

South American's!!!!
I am Here to help and Guide you in having the best Winter Experience In Park City ever thought Possible. I am the best friend you could ever have!
That being said as far as helping you with housing I am very picky. I wont host you for the whole winter, at most would be 3-5 days if you have a place lined up but have a few days of being homeless I'd love to help.

If you need help finding a place give me a message I am a local for a long time and can give you advice on where to go.

If you speak Italian it's a big bonus!!!!!!! I lived in Perugia, Italy in high school and learned. I like Argentinian Accents cause I can understand a lot of that Spanish.

Tips to be aware of!!! I do favor active Couch Surfers, meaning if you just sign up now without ever of trying Couchsurfing and with no info on your about me page, your chances of being hosted grows smaller.

I'm more then happy to show you the lay of the land!! Some advice is to hang out with Americans! You are in our country! See our culture and stop complaining or comparing your way of life to ours, just go with the flow and try it the ski bum way while your in park city Utah!! Liquore laws are different, so what, change your way of hanging out and partying to fulling experience life in Park City. It's called pre-gaming and you do it earlier, go out by 10pm a little tipsy, and again make some local American Friends, we have the best after parties!!!

Oh and a really big tip, TIP YOUR FUCKING BARTENDERS at least a buck PER_DRINK!!! You have no idea how much better you bar experience will be if you do this! Bar-tenders remember who tips and who doesn't! Which goes back to the whole drink earlier and get out to the bar by 10, 11, but already pretty drunk, then it's only 1-3 drinks you are actually buying.
------Last tip-------DRINK FUCKING WATER ALL DAY!!!!!!! You are not at sea level and it's really dry here, you will get sick and think your dying if you party like you do back home and don't drink twice the amount of water then you do back home!!!!!!!!! Hope this helps

To Every One

Really hoping to host more people this fall and winter. I have a crazy cool Duplex all to myself and live in a great location. I live alone for the first time, allowing me to be super creative!!! I made my own studio for stone carving and cinematography in my living room!!!!!

Please give me at least a weeks notice. I will try to get back to you asap. I really am proud of my 100% response rate. I work weekends so mon-wed I'm more free to show you around.

I love snowboarding!!!!! I have an epic pass and work nights so I am free every morning!!!!!!! Afternoon!!!!
Lets shred some powder!!!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big movie buff, i enjoy fantasy and Science fiction mostly. I can enjoy any move. music is a big subject. books go in the same category as movies and I love them more then movies cause there is just so much more to them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived in Alaska which was awesome those mountains make everything look like a miniature set. A grand vacation in Italy in the town I lived in when I was in high school. I wrote a screen play a horror thriller. So many breath taking sunsets, and sunrise I can't wait to be shown up again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am big on teaching the beautiful art of stone carving. If you come stay with me I require in the time your here that you shape a small piece of stone and polish it to a shinny finish that you may have to remember literally for ever, unless you miss place or drop it higher then 4ft.
