I am married and live with my wife, Barb, and our Samoyed dog, Farley. I love hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and packrafting. I have spent the last 34 years exploring the beauty of Alaska.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I want to be able to travel inexpensively and meet local people. They usually know the best places to go on outings, what to see, and they can teach me a lot about places I am traveling. I am not a person who wants to travel on cruises or stay in fancy hotels. I would much rather experience a place from a local's perspective.
