Howdy!
I'm a young guy who is finally ready to do some serious travelling! WOOO! I've been working very hard the last few years to make my life free and clear for seeing the world. Ask me what I think about the American education system.

so, who am I. OK.

I would consider myself very adventurous. I would choose a hike over a museum (nothing against museums).
I love music. I play a little.
I'm always trying to find the secret places.
Love the outdoors.
I'm a huge nerd when it comes to mechanical things...huge.
I tend to gravitate towards activities with a little risk involved like white water kayaking....Want to go kayaking?

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To get know like minded people.
And to get to know new places in a more intimate way.
To discover different points of view and adventures I haven't thought of.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Completed the Northern Forest Canoe trail in 2004. There was super high water in the spring that year. We canoed 540 miles and portaged around 200 miles. The first week we broke through ice with our canoe daily. A rabbit tried to sleep with me one night. I thought it was a killer bear.
