ABOUT ME
After I graduated from Western State College in Colorado, I've been traveling all over the U.S. I was a wine salesman in Florida, I was a farmer in California, and right now I'm volunteering in The Gambia.
PHILOSOPHY
There is no excuse for regrets, youth is fleeting, and the world waits patiently for the excitement of your feet... Fall in love with everything, places, people, art, culture.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've always couch surfed with friends, and I've always stayed with "friends of friends". It's a spectacular way to truly get to know the city, the people, and where all of the interesting nightlife is!
Interests
I'm obsessed with music, film, and outdoor recreation. Recently I've been learning about art and architecture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've stood on top of many formidable mountains, some over 14,000 feet tall in the rocky mountains. It is truly an experience that dwells in your soul, something unforgettable.
Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to share the stories of the places I've travelled: Milking cows in California, going to wine tastings in Florida. I want to share the music I've discovered along the way.
