My wife and I have a closet full of some backpacking and mountaineering equipment that we don't use enough and a couple of bicycles that we also don't tend to use enough of. I am putting a lot of time into my two jobs, I'm trying hard to learn Russian, and I am working on a secret project that I want to build in Spokane. I'm not sure how to make the world a better place but I'm doing my best to not make it worse.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet other people to share experiences and new places with, and to meet good and interesting people to grow with along the way as I venture into what is for me a great unknown, cities with no connections, and uncertain roads.

I want to be able to experience new places and not just fly by them. Likewise I'd like to share my own world and experiences. I'd like to take the long way to wherever I go so that I can learn and not just listen blindly, so that I can appreciate every step I travel.

Interests

Things that make me feel alive. Learning how to be useful. Learning ways to help people in emergencies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode my bike to San Francisco once and slept on a roof.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm eager to learn just about anything, and to teach whatever I have to offer, be it the secrets of making a good time machine, or making a backpacker's stove for 20 bucks. I can show you what makes a good first aid kit, how to do CPR and some first aid tips.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like cooking for people but I'm not great at it. I can do odd jobs and help out with most anything. I am pretty handy. I fully believe in leaving every place better than it was. That's the only way the world will become a better place. I can teach you how to solve a Rubik's cube.
