About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life, have fun, and help others do the same

PHILOSOPHY

Allow yourself to be amazed, keep learning, and enjoy life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being a considerate house guest, and possibly even making good company during my stay, opening my apartment to travelers and showing them the finer parts of Crossett, AR.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to Couch Surfing, but excited about the prospect of trying it out on my upcoming road trip from Little Rock, Arkansas to Colorado and back. I'd also like to host some folks at my place in Crossett, given the opportunity.

Interests

Mountain biking, backpacking, the outdoors (including insects, fungi and cottonmouth snakes), and making music by myself or with friends. The past, present, and future of human and nonhuman life on Earth.

Music, Movies, and Books

From Muddy Waters to the Pixies, with a dose of 90's rock on the side. NPR junkie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was recently taught how to spot sloths in trees and to use the soldiers from a leafcutter ant colony as sutures.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to disc golf, or maybe share a few new techniques if you already enjoy the best leisure sport on the planet. I can also do some basic bike maintenance, so while I'm no pro, I might be able to teach you how to adjust your brakes and shifters.

Countries I’ve Visited

Antarctica, Costa Rica, New Zealand, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
