About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring northern California, looking for a new place to call home

ABOUT ME

I am fed up with the dreary pacific northwest winters, so I have decided to move south. I am spending the next few months traveling northern California looking for a new place to call home. I'm hoping to have some adventures with the people I meet along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

Taking the road (or path) less-traveled. The easiest way is most often not the most rewarding.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My CS experience is just beginning! I've made friends with a few people who have hosted and surfed before and they all tell me that it is wonderful. I'm looking forward to it.

Interests

Meeting new people and exploring new places. cycling. pastries. espresso. drying off and warming up after being cold and wet. the colour blue. good food (tend towards natural and organic, but not all the time). Music of all sorts, especially live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A 600 mile tandem bicycle trip with my little brother in Oregon. It took us 17 days, and was incredible.

I can fix just about any problem you are having with a bicycle. I am interested in where our discussions will lead us.
