About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To boldly go.

ABOUT ME

I grew up on a cattle ranch in the Bozeman area of Montana, and moved to the big city. I enjoy board-sports, art, live music, good conversation, good food, and adventure! Travel seems to be in my DNA. And I think that California might just be the best place on the planet.

PHILOSOPHY

The quality of my life will ultimately be determined by how much of it was spent laughing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The thing I love the most, is that Couchsurfing brings people together who are willing to trust in the good nature of their fellow humans. Of course it's also nice to enjoy a local perspective while traveling, but the real treasure is that it restores our faith in humanity :)

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted, surfed, and been to a several meetings. Once I was a guest artist for a couchsurfing group in Brazil!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a giant tortoise dig a hole and bury it's eggs by moonlight on the carribean coast of Mexico.

Teach, Learn, Share

When someone does something nice for you, pay it forward. Kindness is contagious, and I don't want the cure.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Mostly I like sharing stories and the plethora of snacks I always accumulate while traveling. I'm also good with computers and have helped hosts in the past with web development, Photoshop, and the like.
