ABOUT ME Living in St Augustine FL at the moment after a couple of years being nomadic but originally from NYC. PHILOSOPHY I enjoy seeing the world and being active. I try not to take anything too seriously, put my sense of humor first and try to live as closely to being stress free as possible.

I enjoy the beach and riding my bike. I live the easy life as we all should. I gave up TV, but love watching YouTube and backpackers like the Budgeteers!

I'm an outdoor enthusiast and nature nerd. I am on Couchsurfing to expand my community and get to meet people from the local culture. I love connecting with people who share that same curiosity for the natural world. With two degrees in environmental science, I feel most alive when freediving, rock climbing, backpack hiking, acro yoga, birding, or SCUBA diving. When I'm not pushing my body to its physical limits, you'll find me capturing the world through my camera lens or bringing it to life with watercolor paints. I may be able to host on Couchsurfing in August, but I am traveling before and after that. IG: @AbroadOutdoors

Life has taken me on some unexpected adventures over the last few years. Over the last couple of years, I have been balancing graduate school, recovering from burnout, and doing the deeper work of healing. It hasn't always been easy, but it's taught me how to slow down, reconnect with myself, and appreciate the journey. Nature has been my sanctuary, and experiences with plant medicine opened doors that were very scary, but was a healing experience in 2022 that has continud my journey up until now. My travels have taken me from spending 2½ months exploring Peru on my second solo international trip, to hiking across Ireland in an SUV, wandering the streets of Paris, and spending four months exploring the U.S. in my Jeep. I camped under the stars, hiked over 300 miles, and visited countless National and State Parks. Those experiences taught me that some of life's greatest lessons happen far from home. I'm currently in Thailand, continuing my journey of healing and personal growth, and next up is Vietnam. I never know exactly where life will take me, but that's part of what I love about traveling. As odd as it may seem, the burnout has left me completely drained and more reserved, aging is another downer. I am working hard on myself to overcome these obstacles. I will always find happiness and calm outdoors, whether that's hiking, walking on the beach, and kayaking. I value authenticity, curiosity, kindness, and conversations that go beyond surface level.

I have lived in Florida since 2010. I was in the Air Force for over 20 years, so have been fortunate to travel and meet many interesting people. I live alone, though I do have two indoor cats. I enjoy a fairly quiet life. I'm willing to host guests who are quiet, independent, and don't mind exploring on their own.

I grew up in Florida and traveled my home state extensively; mostly camping along the way. Road trips are a favorite of mine here in the US, and I've seen 30+ states so far. Also love to travel abroad. Lucky enough to have experienced a dozen or so European countries as well as an equal amount of asian ones plus a few other odd destinations. I've been home brewing beer for 14 years and like to seek out breweries and beer styles in my travels. I usually travel with a harmonica and am always up for a jam session.

Nessuna bio ancora, probabilmente in giro ad esplorare
