CURRENT MISSION

I completed my 500 day adventure around the world. I want to thank all those that helped me along the way. That chapter is over and now its time to write another.

ABOUT ME

I was born on a ranch in the mountains of Utah. I love the outdoors and have an uncontrollable need for adventure. I try to be a good listener and work at it everyday. I'm always trying to learn something new.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to improve myself everyday, learning, listening, teaching if asked.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Around the World in 500 days

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My Surfing experience has been from Nepal to Greece. From Poland to Switzerland, Deutchland to Austria and of course the Czech Rep in Prague. But I can't forget the great folks of Canada and the USA. Now its time to be a host, I hope to live up to their generosity.

Interests

My interests are so many and I'm doing them. Traveling around the world, making new friends. I love the thrill of whitewater, summits, walls. Deep and Steep Powder, horse pack trips, golf and fly fishing. Long distance cycling has grabbed my hart for this summer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If you ask I will tell you but I prefer to hear about your amazing story. Storytelling is an art, listening to others is a big part of that.

Teach, Learn, Share

Below is a poem I found a long time ago.
What do you think about it?

An Autobiography by Denis Waitely, Grade 11 1949

My name is not important,
For it was never known;
My face is unfamiliar,
For it is never shown;
In fact I'm really not alive,
Except in hearts of men;
And recognized but once a year,
Then forgotten once again;
But I have no sorrows, or grief of mind,
And I don't know the meaning of pain;
For I'm the "Unknown Soldier,"
Whose life was not in vain.
