CURRENT MISSION

Seeing the world for what it is.

ABOUT ME

I'm a simple man. Keen on travel and sharing it with stories, photography and video. Check it out at offyonder.com.

PHILOSOPHY

The oxen are slow, but the earth is patient.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have spent a lot of time in guest beds, on couches and floors of others. It's usually so much better than insulating oneself in a hotel room. Much thanks to all who share their home!

Interests

My in-town life is pretty boring. Lots of reading, writing, video and photography editing. But every now and then I get out into the world to capture all the great stuff that I need to edit once I get home. A fair balance, I've found.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent four months at the South Pole. Pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

The way to get invited back is to give all you can when couch surfing: Offer to cook dinner, always jump on the dishes, keep your things orderly... these are the things I've done and the response has always been "You can come back and stay anytime!"
