CURRENT MISSION

I want to experience as much as I possibly can while making this place a little bit better.

ABOUT ME

I am a fun loving, easy going, fly by the seat of your pants kind of guy. I'm very open to all types of people and enjoy new experiences. I'm an avid outdoors enthusiast. The pub is a friend of mine if for nothing else but chatting it up with new people. I've been privileged to see much in my short time but I have tons yet to see and learn.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm racking up my experiences and loving each and every one. This has been so much better than I anticipated. I recommend this to everyone I meet who's interested in travel.

Interests

I love competing in triathlons and marathons, total movie buff, and food junkie. Love wine and cooking and being outside. I'm a Hash House Harrier. It's an awesome way to make running interesting and meet new people.
