I like to travel and meet new people. Currently I am planning on going around the globe without flying. Mainly on my folding touring bike, but as long as it doesn't involve an airplane (i'll accept balloon) camel back, trains, dog sled, etc anythings game.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel I want to interact with the locals and share rather than seek shelter behind anonymous congruity behind closed doors of sterile hotel room.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have stealth cowboy camped on the Great Wall of China off the beaten tourist paths on a hammock. I was more scared that I would be discovered by the local authorities and carted off to a labor camp as an American spy, but it was well worth the added anxiety.
