ABOUT ME

Laid back kind of guy who finds balance with his cooky girlfriend. Been a lot of places, but nothing beats flying back home over the Cascades.

PHILOSOPHY

"In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die, where you invest your love, you invest your life."

- Mumford & Son's - Awake My Soul

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although it wasn't technically through Couchsurfing.org, I had my own experience around Easter of 2010. A buddy of mine who was the physical therapist for my basketball team proposed the idea to do an East Germany road trip. Considering I had nothing pressing and he was raised around there I agreed. We visited six cities in a week, and we couch'ed it the entire time with his friends or family. It was truly amazing and unlike any other type of traveling I've done before.
