About Me

ABOUT ME

I grew up and went through college working on a farm, so I know what real work is, and try my best to avoid it. I still have a good work ethic, but I try to only work in areas I have a passion for. I also try to allocate as much time for myself and my family as possible. I enjoy getting dirty, fresh snow, solitude, and good people. I try to get my hands into about anything that comes along and am willing to try anything once. I believe a person can learn indefinitely from all experiences/people, and I am always anxious to learn something new.

PHILOSOPHY

Today is the youngest we will ever be in our lives; lets live like it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By offering my home to travelers, and I have surfed a few couches too. I also enjoy meeting travelers and can offer guests a plethora of local knowledge that you can't get from a Holiday Inn.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have always been hospitable and ready to meet new friends; I've hosted a bit and surfed a bit, too. Before I joined CS, I have made friends, stayed with friends of friends, and have found gracious hosts in all corners of this continent and I have offered my house/yard likewise. Through CS I have made many friends from all over the world and learned their stories. I really enjoy hearing about places I haven't been from people who have and have been inspired to go to destinations I previously would not have thought about.

Interests

snowboarding, being outside, traveling, road tripping, drone videography, new experiences, renovating old buildings.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can get into about any music, movies or books. Generally the weirder the better.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess becoming a father is probably the most amazing thing I've ever done, and most of what I've seen amazes me in some way or another.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to teach, I'm willing to learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a decent handle on good places to go in southwest Montana. I have driven in all the countries I've visited and can share information about car rental, foreign road tripping and camping. Lucy and I can cook pretty decent food from a few corners of the globe.

Countries I’ve Visited

Armenia, Belize, Botswana, Canada, Cayman Islands, Georgia, Greece, Guatemala, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, Jamaica, Mexico, Namibia, Netherlands, Romania, Russian Federation, South Africa, Swaziland, Turkey, Zambia, Zimbabwe
