This section needs to be updated. After spending 11 months on my motorcycle traveling through the US, Europe, and Morocco, I decided to live in Barcelona, my current home. (Once I figure out how to edit where I live, I'll change that.)

CURRENT MISSION

Travel through Europe, North Africa and Asia by motorcycle.

ABOUT ME

After spending six weeks riding my motorcycle across the US, I am spending the next 18 months on a solo adventure through most of Europe, North Africa, Central / East / Southeast Asia. I'm simultaneously delighted and terrified by the prospect!

PHILOSOPHY

Love is the strongest force in the universe. The best expression of that is to be kind and honest with the people in your life, whether it be for a moment or a lifetime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm still fairly new to couchsurfing, though I've let people stay in my home, and stayed in the homes of others, many times in the past. Since I made it to Europe, I've had several wonderful hosts already and am looking forward to many more over the course of my travels.

I love to cook, and am happy to do so for my hosts if they're interested. You're not likely to be disappointed!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I crossed the Continental Divide in Wyoming on foot, in a blizzard, with a 90# pack on my back.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very good with a chef's knife, and in the kitchen. I'm happy to teach cooking skills, from basic knife handling or making a cream sauce or ragu from scratch.
