CURRENT MISSION

See everything. Meet everyone, Experience every culture. Simple, right?

ABOUT ME

Just a guy with some time, not a lot of money, and a crazy dream to see everything there is to see, do everything there is to do, and then repeat the ones I liked along the way. I'm extremely open minded and love taking a little bit away from everyone I meet on the open road.

Traveling with my also open minded, loving gal!
We have a few states left for all 50, a few national parks, and a lot of mountains to climb!

PHILOSOPHY

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius, and a lot of courage, to move in the opposite direction. --Albert Einstein

The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.
--Chuck Palahniuk

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mainly surf, though I would love to host someday. My couch is always open... it's just in an area that no one really seems to want to visit :(

Interests

Tennis, hiking, reading, eating everything I can find that's delicious and new. Learning. I like climbing to the top of anything that is tall.

Experiencing different ways of life, cultures, and mindsets from the inside out (part of the reason CS is the only way to travel).

• culture
• gardening
• politics
• reading
• traveling
• hiking
• rock climbing
• tennis
• parks
• mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

Virtually everything is worthwhile at least once.
Avett Brothers, Old Crow Medicine Show, Creedence Clearwater Revival.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to list! I feel like a lot of the little things we see in life get pushed aside, and that's a shame.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a LOT about plants and a lot about rocks. The human spirit. Politics (ew?). Landscaping / Gardening - I am a Certified Landscape Professional with 10 years+ experience growing organic vegetables and orchards in a dry, alkaline climate.

I've pretty extensively road tripped the 48 states and Canada, and I have a bit of good advice for various parks and cities along the way. And opinions. Tons of opinions on everything.
