CURRENT MISSION to escape the labyrinth ABOUT ME After college, I worked a fairly normal job as an environmental technician and after two years could no longer stand it. I packed up and went to Costa Rica to clear my head with all kinds of ambitious plans. Then I discovered surfing, which became my life for the rest of the trip. Before I knew it, a month and a half passed and I had to go home. Unable to accept another normal job, I found employment as a whitewater river guide on the Youghiogheny river. Now it's cold. No one wants to go rafting. It's time for something new... PHILOSOPHY ALL FORWARD!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING So far, all I've done is be a decent guest. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've surfed a couple couches in Idaho and Wyoming, both great experiences.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Flipped the raft an amazing 12 (perhaps more -- I lost count) times in one trip down the Upper Gauley River. I am a veritable connoisseur of carnage.

Don't talk to strangers -- it's dangerous and super scary.
