CURRENT MISSION

I aim to learn new things, meet new people, and experience as much as I can!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I like to think that I am a friendly easy going person, and I feel there are at least a few people that would agree. I always seem to be searching for new things to learn and challenge myself with. As much as possible I like to spend my time outside, including (but not limited to) rock climbing, snowboarding, hiking, and playing on/in water. If you have any questions feel free to get in touch with me!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Think about it, find out what you can about it, but whatever it is, DO IT! Don't stop at thinking/looking get out there and do stuff!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have used the forums a few times and looked around a bit to get info while traveling, I am looking forward to get more involved with being able to meet/stay with people as I travel more in the future!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To this point I have had success with getting good recommendations through the forums, I have yet to be as outgoing as I need while traveling to find a couch. Hopefully that will change soon, I'll stick with it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Let's see... A couple of my most memorable moments would include hitchhiking in Japan when my travel buddy and I found out that the bus we were on stopped about twenty miles from our destination. That was a really cool experience because we were able to meet an awesome guy that picked us up right away and was really friendly and open to sharing about his life and culture.

Another one would be leading a trip of high school students to Costa Rica and getting to see how much the two week trip got them involved in making their own decision about where we were going to go and what we were going to do.

Teach, Learn, Share

I spend a good amount of my time playing in the outdoors and have had the chance to teach snowboarding, skiing, rock climbing and various other outdoor activities.
