ABOUT ME

Hey there! I'm 23, from Minnesota, USA, and am currently traveling through New Zealand. I'm pretty outdoor oriented, so I love the woods, lakes, hiking, and other neat nature stuff. I love visual and performance arts, and of course good music. I like cooking, learning other peoples philosophies and traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

Put a little lemon pepper on it and make it all better?

Music, Movies, and Books

Folk, alternative, hip hop, I'm pretty open to most music, but I'm not down with screamo stuff. My favorite band is probably The Talking Heads. Right now I'm pretty into Vampire Weekend. And I'm traveling with three books of poetry by Robert Hass.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hm. This is quite the question. Well I like adventuring, but I live in Minneapolis, so you know, you kind of have to make your own adventures. But one time, some friends and I found this field, in the middle of a neighborhood. In the middle of the field stood one tree. Under that tree there was a man-hole. We climbed down into it and it opened up into a series of narrow tunnels that eventually opened up into this underground cave. You could tell that other people had been down there because there were some littered candles and pictures carved into the walls of the cave. We had a few beers and hung out down there. It isn't too amazing, but it is a true story, and a damn good memory.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, Native American languages, and I'm pretty ok at baking too!
