I'm an easy going guy who loves meeting new friends and making new memories. I enjoy traveling, especially internationally, because it opens my eyes to different perspectives and worldviews. I spent the majority of my growing up years in Delta Junction, Alaska, but I've lived all over the US, spent a few months in China and lived for two years on Japan and Okinawa. I've visited South America a couple times and done some filming down in Haiti on two different occasions. I love aviation, I'm passionate about nursing and caring for other people, and I take every opportunity I can to capture beauty through pictures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Celtic music!! My favorite movie of all time is Anne of Green Gables, although there are so many other good ones it's really hard to choose. I enjoy true-to-life films that make me reevaluate life on a deep level. Bridge of Spies is another really good one that I've seen recently and loved.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept on a beach in Florida for a full week. Best experience ever! Got to sleep under the stars at night and talk with "strangers" for hours during the day.
