Spontaneous traveler. Always looking for a new adventure in a new land with lots of new people to meet! I wait tables at a brewery and teach outdoor education seasonally - birding, foraging, travelling are my side hobbies. I am a 25 year old Michigander.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
My first solo adventure without companions has brought me upon you all and I'm looking to meet new people and explore someplace wicked beautiful.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Vallis Alps, Sylvan Esso, Maggie Rogers, Cold Weather Company, Shakey Graves Movies: For some reason, movie titles don't stick to my brain. But I like a lot of my movies. Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. LOTR! (I haven't read them though...) Fight Club (I wrote a paper on it for a "Buddhist Tradition" class... Books: Jane Eyre, The Thin Executioner, Harry Potter, Foraging Books, Tiny Beautiful Things - anything I can get my hands on! Currently reading Carlos Castenada's "The Active Side of Infinity"
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hitch-hiked Picked up hitch-hikers (my fave) Climbed a couple mountains (smaller but hey, they're still mountains!) Paid off my car Learned how to successfully use power tools Drank a whole six pack of Two-Hearted Ale Ate poisonous mushrooms and am here to tell you about it Saw three pileated woodpeckers at the same time Crossed my eyes once and got them stuck I mean, how amazing are we talking? Every day something cool happens.
Teach, Learn, Share
Always learning and proceeding with an open-mind. My favorite thing ever is teaching kiddos about the plants in Michigan and getting them stoked about the outdoors. I've worked at a brewery for two years and have some gained collective knowledge about craft brews. I knitted a scarf once... definitely could use more help with that.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Philosophy, conversation, books, ideas, fresh air, laughs and whatever comes along.
