ABOUT ME

Hmmmm'mmm'mmm. A lot of it depends on the weather, and I am most definitely what I eat for breakfast....Perhaps just a "hunter for unforgettable experiences" will suffice?
But, as for right now I'm just looking to stew a bit in the cultures of everywhere and gain some perspective (perferably to have a hell of time doing it as well :) I'm back in New Mexico, USA, to peep into the nano-world having just finished a degree in Fairbanks, Alaska studying the means to grow monster vegetables in the North :)

PHILOSOPHY

A cup of tea once told me "Bliss is a constant state of mind, undisturbed by loss or gain."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Certainly the most amazing transformation I have undergone was my 2175 mile hike from Georgia to Maine. I learned a lot about myself, nature, and humanity through blizzards and hitches, night hikes and rainstorms, and mornings on top of old fire towers.... The absolute most amazing aspect, though, were the people I met along the way....

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn just about anything! Anything you'd be willing to share :) In exchange, perhaps I can show you my favorite salad recipe or help you with your kayak roll! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts
