CURRENT MISSION

"If you're young, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel—as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them wherever you go." Anthony Bourdain

ABOUT ME

Hi, the name's Zach — Zach Taylor. I'm a recent transplant to Denver from Eugene, Oregon, a loyal Duck, a blogger and an avid naked adventurer. Traveling the world is the long-term game plan, but right now I'm all 'gung-ho' about Colorado. If you ever need any recommendations (food, drink, hikes, good times, etc.) in the Denver area, don't hesitate to ask. I'd love to help.

There isn't much I love more than building fun, long-lasting relationships with interesting people. So let's start one.

Also, I'm a huge fan of living a life of novelty and if I could rid the world of any one disease, it would be boredom.

PHILOSOPHY

"Gonna go far with charisma and skill until they put my face on a million dollar bill."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I once heard the best way to become interesting is to be interested. I joined CS because I want to learn from others about the little bits of joy they find in this world.

Interests

Socializing, reading, and exercising. I like to hike, climb, camp, read, write, talk, do, drink a good brew, and occasionally spit a few bars over a dope beat.

Some other sprouting hobbies:

Improv Comedy
Travel Writing
Mountaineering
Cooking
Music

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

How about three?

1) the sublime feeling I had while dangling my feet over the edge atop Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. It was chilling, awe-inspiring and truly unforgettable.

2) Traveling to new cities. I love cities; New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, Denver...the list goes on. Cities are teeming with life and so full of diverse, rich experiences; there's never a dull moment.

3) In the summer of 2013 I climbed three of the peaks in the Teton Range. Holy shit. Climbing a mountain that tests your wits and physical abilities is one of the most exhilarating things I've ever done and I'm eager to climb many, many more.
