CURRENT MISSION

Get to know Whistler for the triathlon & Valley to Peak run in a couple months!

ABOUT ME

I'm an explorer at heart, and don't do well with favorites as there is far too much of interest in this world for one short life!
I occupy much of my free time based on the season; Winter: ice climbing, mountaineering, nordic skiing, snowboarding, etc.; Summer: swimming, running, cycling, rock climbing, surfing, sailing, hiking, etc..
For the last few years I have found an Ironman triathlon and start training a few months before. I enjoy the triathlon community as the lifestyle generally attracts conscientious healthy thinking individuals. I think exposure to the outdoors helps balance people's bodies and minds, and leads to more sustainable living and thinking.
I enjoy interacting and learning from people of different backgrounds and cultures; I've been doing it from a young age living abroad, and feel more so at home while traveling throughout the world experiencing new cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

happiness truly comes when you devote your life to being good for the simple sake of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been able to meet very interesting people during my travels, and since discovering CS, I've enjoyed the easier means to achieving this. I've hosted a number of people while i lived in Seattle & in Utah, and enjoy the community feel to it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was down in Costa Rica and had the most amazing experience with a family living out near Guanacaste - what a beautiful, peaceful life out in the middle of the jungle with a spectacular feeling of community. I hope that sense of community can return to our high-paced existence: it would solve many of the issues we face today.
