I enjoy communal time with family & friends, traveling and absorbing as much as possible, good books, The Grateful Dead, yoga, surfing, climbing, and beautiful music. I aim to respect other's comfort zones while challenging many to move out of it as much as possible.

I am very laid back, easy to get along with, and fun! Adventure is at the staple of my being and I plan to seek it as much as possible. :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I appreciate the culture and people who hold community as a staple in their lives. I don't always have a couch or bed available, but I will open up my place when I can. At the very least, I hope to show anyone around who comes to my part of the world.

Some of my good friends are people who have hosted me around the world and I am so grateful. I hope to continue to participate in the CS world for years to come!

I summited Mt. Aconcagua (22, 800 ft) in 2010. It was super hard.

Teach, Learn, Share

There are few things that I feel comfortable teaching and an infinite number of things that I want to learn. I am a constant sharer and an open communicator.

I can share in good times, good conversation, and good food. I am a mediocre cook but I love doing it.
