I am a constant traveler on a spiritual pilgrimage, seeking interaction with others to gain insight into the commonalities that bind us all together. Community is sacred, shared experiences treasured, and exploration essential to our collective wellbeing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently bicycling across the United States from the Atlantic to Pacific Ocean. I would like to meet as many people as possible during this journey, to learn from their life experiences and build new, lasting friendships.

Interests

I am an avid hiker, completing a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail last year & the Camino de Santiago last month. Touring the United States from coast-to-coast on a bicycle is goal I've had for many years. I travel to meet others, learn, and grow.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music interest is currently modern folk. Indie movies are always in my cue. My reading gravitates towards modern classics with an occasional horror novel to vary it up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a pilot before committing myself to constant travel. I had the opportunity to fly up in Alaska during Christmas time and deliver toys to remote villages. It was the most challenging and rewarding flying I ever did.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been blessed to travel most of my life and would love to discuss the beauty of those experiences. What I desire most though is to learn from others, to share in the richness of their lives and aspirations. We are a global community, and the more we interact with each other, the more we can understand and embrace the qualities binding us all together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A deep desire to know them, to listen, to laugh, to build friendships, to grow.
