Overview
About Me
I'd rather sit somewhere quiet, sipping drinks and sharing stories then going out partying. A huge reason I'm on couchsurfing is that it can be a wonderful way to meet spectacular humans. Being inspired by those around me is one of the things that keeps my life happy.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I really agree with the philosophy here. Its a more human and logical way to go places then lonely hotels. I want to make friends wherever I go and this is the best way to do that.
Interests
Any sport/activity where I can go really fast! I used to ride racehorses professionally if that gives you an idea.... always down for skydiving, etc. I love skiing but almost never have the chance to do it so Im not very good lol. Also absolutely love scuba diving and backcountry camping. Anything outside/in nature. I will try to make friends with literally any animal that lets me get near it.
- backpacking
- horse riding
- scubadiving
- rockclimbing
Music, Movies, and Books
Hunter S Thompson, David Foster Wallace, Barbara Kingsolver, Bill Bryson, Vonnegut, Jung Chang and of course JK Rowling.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Galloping big beautiful horses over huge scary jumps very very fast and getting paid for it.
Driving a motorcycle through Nepal across twisty Himalayan mountain switchbacks south to the border with India.

What I Can Share with Hosts
Hmmmm.... I have accumulated a good bit of travel, backpacking and "roughing it" experience and advice at this point- although there are definitely people on here that put me to shame, which is awesome. :)
I love cooking for people, and sometimes it even tastes good.
