CURRENT MISSION:
climb rocks, meet great people, explore new place in 2015

I'D LOVE TO ACCEPT GUESTS, BUT UNTIL FALL 2015 I'M TRAVELING AND ON THE ROAD!

I grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana and later Taos, New Mexico in a family of 7. We lived for several years in Dakar, Senegal, and traveled in Europe and South America. I studied at the United World College of the Adriatic for 2 years before University, and attended Dartmouth College in New Hampshire for my BA. After 5 years living in New Hampshire (I stayed after graduating and worked as a chef and teaching assistant for the university) I decided to travel abroad before starting grad school in Fall 2015. I am mostly in Southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam) and New Zealand (Auckland) Jan-March, and will be hiking across Spain with my girlfriend in April and May.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love to visit a place with friendly locals who know it well, and I'm traveling on a budget!

兴趣

I'm very passionate about rock climbing. I spend most of my free time climbing things, and have had a great time exploring places through local crags and the climbing community.

I love cooking and everything related to food. This is also my academic interest, as I will study food sovereignty and development as a masters student in Human Geography.

Josh Garrels... and always the Chili Peppers

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I rode a bicycle from Colorado to Washington DC (2,500 miles) in 2009, and have done a few other great bicycle touring trips since then. My favorite way to travel!

Food, music, stories, local knowledge (culture and history)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I love to cook and have done so professionally for several years. I'm always happy to get in a kitchen and spend a few hours making a big meal for however many people are around.

I love to play music and jam on pretty much any instrument with strings (or my voice), although I'm a bit out of practice.

I can fix bikes, build houses, help with landscaping, work on diesel cars - all with a positive attitude and hopefully some humor. I'm happy to help out with projects for a couple hours if I'm staying some nights.
