CURRENT MISSION

Continue to experience the entire world, one place at a time, while of course meeting every interesting person along the way.

ABOUT ME

I thrive in the outdoors. I hike, bike, and ski. I enjoy live music. I love sports, mountains, beer, wine, coffee, maps, geography, bicycles, road-trips, Italian food, and doing things on a whim. I can get along with just about anyone. I'm in search of a profession that pays me to travel the world...any suggestions?

PHILOSOPHY

The places we go and the people we meet shape our lives & personalities...so we might as well go everywhere and meet everyone.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed many-a-couch and many have surfed my couch. I'm down for meeting up or merely offering info about the places I know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

German girls can rip it on skis.
It's easy to quickly become pals with a good dog.
