CURRENT MISSION: SEE THE WORLD

Hi! I'm Michael! I live in the wine country of Northern California when I'm not living and working in Yosemite National Park. I just recently spent 6 months traveling around Asia and became a divemaster in the process. Most recently, I was a handyman in Chicago and I am a wiz at small home repairs if you need any :D

I love adventure and can't wait for my next one!

I'm incredibly clean, courteous, and considerate of your space! I love making meals, doing dishes, and sharing stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on my off season from Yosemite and seeing the world. I'm on couch surfing to make friends, check out cool places all over the world, and hopefully see some local hangouts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slacklined (tight rope walking) 2000 feet above the ground connected only with a harness! It was the most incredibly experience of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn any style of cooking that you would like to teach!

I can teach you to fix most things around your house, anchors and personal protection for climbing (or anything you can use it for), how to leave home and become a scuba dive professional, gardening and irrigation, furniture refinishing, pickling, home sauerkraut making, home brewing beer or spirits, tips and tricks to traveling different areas I've been to, and probably lots of other things. I have a really varied interest pool.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Host me and I'll bring some beers and stories along :D

I'm a super pleasant guest with very little needs. I love to help with anything you are working on or stay out of your way completely.
