When I lived in NYC I always seemed to miss my stop. I am the person strangers on the subway tell their whole life story too.

My name sake is Aries (yes hippy backwoods parents) true to my sign I am firey, passionate, adventurous, and outgoing. I am interested in systems design, art, being outdoors, anything to do with the natural world, responsive business, and the rewilding methodology. I have traveled extensively volunteering, working, and in general being a wanderlust nomad.

Mist mornings by the ocean and hot cups of tea tickle me pink. I read.... a lot.LIke 5-8 books a month.

Love to learn, adventure, and try new things. I am an avid backcountry snowboarder, rock climber, and archer. Enjoy getting my hands dirty and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Chatter bug all the way. New perspectives, people, and ideas. The "local" vibe of a place keeps my heart happy and coming back for more. I have traveled in many countries that take their hospitality to strangers seriously(they pull you into their house feed you, clothe you, and won't take no for an answer:) )
