ABOUT ME

Tall, very tall. Easy going, fun, adventurous. I love exploring new places, trying new foods, hearing incredible stories of travel or adventures.

I really enjoy getting outside and being active. Everything from climbing, to kayaking to mountain biking. When I'm not outside you can find me curled up with a bowl of chili, researching how to garden, reading a murder mystery, fostering kittens or dreaming up my next adventure.

My most recent adventure was a Calgary to Vancouver bicycle tour with a good friend of mine - it was about 1,300 km of mountains and incredible countryside. We camped and stayed with Warmshowers (the bicycle touring equivalent of Couchsurfing) hosts along the way. The generosity of people in the world never ceases to amaze me.

In a few weeks I'll be bicycling touring the Alps :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be able to travel affordably while meeting like minded individuals across the world and hear their own personal stories.

Interests

Puzzles, being outside, reading, exploring, making new friendships...

Music, Movies, and Books

Eclectic style of music taste from house to indie. Anything Wes Anderson or Pixar for movies and books...well it depends on my mood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up in Alaska seeing Denali towering overhead. Biked across the US twice, East to West then South to North.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach outdoor skills, I'd love to learn cooking or gardening skills and I can share my perspective on the world and would love a good conversation to go from there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories of my travels, return of the favor for when they might be traveling through Colorado - recommendations of other places to stay around the US.

I've lived in Pittsburgh, PA - Blacksburg, VA - Durango, CO - Twain Harte, CA - Hood River, OR - Tucson, AZ, Prescott, AZ & Colorado Springs, CO. I have a lot of stories from traveling and exploring the places I've been lucky enough to call home.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, Canada, Mexico, Thailand
