CURRENT MISSION

to build something crazy for somebody who needs it!

ABOUT ME

Born and grew up on the east coast, and I've been slowly moving west ever since! I'm pretty much settled into my new life here in Eugene, Oregon, and digging life out here on the west/left/best coast. Its kinda crazy to think that I'll be hanging out in one spot for the foreseeable future, but this seems like a good place to do it!

He estudiado español por muchos años, y quiero viajar mucho en las americas, practicando y mejorando. Me encanta aprender sobre las culturas y la naturaleza americanas.

If I'm not traveling - come find me! I'd love to show you around town!

PHILOSOPHY

Get outside, anyway I can, as often as possible. Live simply, efficiently.

I hope to work in appropriate technology, designing and building solutions that fit into the general culture, use locally available materials, and can be taught to the local community.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I'm home for trips, I'm looking forward to meeting travelers in my neck of the woods. I'll definitely take you around town, and most likely have a couch for you!

If I'm home, and you're near, odds are I can show you around the outdoor points of interest in town. So if you need to paddle a boat, get underground, or just do something crazy outside, contact me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got to spend time with two wonderful couchsurfers on my trip back to the US from Guatemala. Both times I was able to see parts of the cities that I would never have known about without my couchhosting friends. I cannot wait to pass the couchsurfing gift on further!

I've started hosting here in Eugene Oregon, and it's been great! Come stay with me!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Hiked 580+ miles, backpacking through the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges in California. Amazing sights, amazing buddies, amazing new friends. I never thought it'd be possible to fall head-over-heels in love with a landscape.
