ABOUT ME

I enjoy the outdoors and everything that goes with it; camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, biking, and especial enjoying time "away from it all". My favorite hobby or activity would have to be fishing. I recently got hooked on running, especially cross country. Picking up running as a hobby a few years ago was a little strange because I grew up playing football and was an offensive lineman for 10 years. I was raised in a small town in Nevada and rode bulls with my high school rodeo team. While in college I studied mechanical engineering and played rugby. During the winter I like to ski, snowboard, ice fish, and snowshoe. I am currently taking some time off school to explore different opportunities.

PHILOSOPHY

Try everything once

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I found out about this site from a hitch hiker and it sounded like fun. I recently stopped going to school and moved to Corvallis with family. I have a blank page in front of me; I am ready to go anywhere, do anything, and meet tons of new people.
