Hello world! After working for an environmental group and saving money for a few years, I've set out to travel the world. I plan to explore Chile and Argentina from February through April, and Europe after that. Along the way I'm planning to backpack and climb (if I can find somebody for the other end of the rope). I love meeting new people and hearing about places you've been, so please don't be shy.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Meeting people is at the heart of why I travel. I love sharing my stories, and hearing yours. I also know that I'll never really experience a place unless I know some locals! Put me up for the night, and I'll gladly do the same for you... once I have a couch again.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I worked two seasons as a backcountry canoe and backpacking guide in Northern Minnesota. I have professional wilderness medical training and can hold my own in the backcountry.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Loads of stories, banjo music, recipes, new drinking games, and a surprisingly long list of jokes about cows.
