About Me

I'm a back roads adventurer, sunset aficionado, appreciator of old machines and a pointer of cameras.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and get hosted.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent three months living in a van hoping from state to state and couch to couch in the good old U S of A. I met tons of amazing people and saw things that will change me forever. I had a great time couchsurfing in India. My host was fantastic and even took me to a traditional Indian wedding.

Interests

I am interested in obscure music, good books and conversation, tattoos, world travel, yoga, push-ups, photography, film making, wine and spending way too much time on the Internet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once abandoned on the second highest motorable pass in the world, Barchala in the Himalayas of northern India. I was covering the highest rally race in the world, the Raid de Himalaya. It was 13,000 ft and freezing cold. Luckily My friend and I were able to find a ride. It was a pretty serious adventure.

My family has a giant home with two full private guest bedrooms. We're always up for hosting.
