Touched whales in Mexico, saw sea turtles laying eggs in Costa Rica, participated in a death anniversary celebration in Vietnam, navigated the city of Shanghai, swam with wild dolphins in New Zealand, helped move an elk carcass in Yellowstone... & so far keeping my sanity - the most amazing thing of all!

I love that Couchsurfing is an exchange of resources and ideas rather than of money.

I live in an amazing place with beauty all around. I'm an instructor at the Yellowstone Institute, so I can introduce you to this place and add a little extra understanding while we're at it.

Hiking, camping, backpacking, rock climbing. Reading, movies, campfire stories. Live music, jam sessions, good cover songs. Haiku, photography, glitter. Good vegetarian food.
