CURRENT MISSION

To climb a tree into my dreams...to bike along the rivers of imagination...

ABOUT ME

I live just outside of Yosemite and love the outdoors. Backpacking, kayaking, climbing, are more or less what I do for work. My passions are in sustainable living, health/fitness, and equality.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is to make the world a little better, service to others, to community, for a better world for all of us to live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being a place for anyone to help weather a storm - of all sorts. Asking for little in return. Will gladly help, teach, or learn from anyone who is willing to share a little piece of their life with me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Slept/lived on plenty of couches, both friends' and official CSes. Not too particular about anything, really. A place to sleep is all I usually need, places to cook and converse are always welcomed though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 30 days living out of my pack in the wilds of Washington, summiting a mountain, glacial ice climbing. Hiked the JMT in the summer of 2012, twice. Fallen in love in Paris.
