Hi! I'm Peter. I love to talk with new people. Connection is my fuel! I'm a good listener, hanger-outer and dinner companion.

Cooking is a newfound passion of mine, and I've been working in a vegetarian kitchen for the past year, exploring new recipes and deepening my relationship to food and cooking. I like to meditate and develop my spiritual practice - I'm currently studying Buddhism and it, along with yoga and more secular practices, it's really opening me up in some great ways.

I've been living at the San Francisco Zen Center for a year, studying Buddhism, and now I'm moving to Denver, CO with the help of my girlfriend, Cheyenne. I'm looking forward to starting a new job and putting down roots in the Rockies :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My girlfriend, Cheyenne, and I will be driving from Ohio to Denver July 26-28, and need places to stay along the way!
