CURRENT MISSION

Put two wheels down around the world

ABOUT ME

I enjoy bike touring and have enjoyed other people's hospitality in the past and am looking to repay that kindness. I hope that I can use couchsurfing as a way to meet new people and possibly network for future travels myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Always enjoy having guests, especially ones with good stories, it's a way to enjoy some of the experiences of traveling without having to go anywhere. I currently work evenings so I may not be around until after 10 pm. Those with good references I'm usually more than willing to let stay into my apartment even if I were to be at work, just need to make arraignments to set you up with getting inside.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My bike journeys so far have been cross country on the TransAmerican Trail from Virgina to Oregon, around Lake Superior, a loop between Glacier National Park-Bellingham, WA-Jasper National Park (Alberta Canada)-back to Glacier, a U-shaped journey from Salt Lake City-Grand Canyon-Santa Fe-Grand Junction, CO, and a circular route that encompasses Glacier and Yellowstone. 2011- circular tour starting in Reno, NV into N. Sierras/Cascades-Florence,OR-down the OR/CA coast to San Luis Obisbo-Yosemite-Reno. 2012- 4,000 miles through New England and the Maritimes of Eastern Canada.
