CURRENT MISSION

I want to show people that IT is possible: the lifestyle they are seeking is there to take hold of. I want to keep the couchsurfing flame lit well, for all its kindness it has paid me, I want to return the favor.

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm an avid Backpacker, rock climber, violinist, geologist, snow-loving classic rocker, soccer playing, hippie-funk jam fan, gnar wildman, appreciator of fine simplicity and fine people. I like turtles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sadly I haven't hosted yet, but I would love to!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The month that I spent thru-hiking the Long Trail in Vermont was full of couch surfing and hitch-hiking adventures. I am greatly indebted to those who housed and fed me along the trail! Thanks!
