Shake a tailfeather

ABOUT ME

Though it hasn't been purposeful, I seem to be drawn to M states. I grew up in Montana, moved East to Massachusetts, and have been in Minnesota for the past 3 years. I moved as far East as I could before I discovered I'm a Westerner at heart. I'm pretty enamored with the bursts of pines and lakes in my new home state, and love to take folks on long, bike adventures and midnight swimming trips.

If you're in town and need a place to stay or a tour guide, hit me up and we'll go adventuring!

PHILOSOPHY

"Every morning I walk like this around the pond, thinking: if the doors of my heart ever close, I am as good as dead." - Mary Oliver

"Solidarity is not a matter of altruism. Solidarity comes from the inability to tolerate the affront to our own integrity of passive or active collaboration in the oppression of others, and from the deep recognition of our most expansive self-interest. From the recognition that, like it or not, our liberation is bound up with that of every other being on the planet, and that politically, spiritually, in our heart of hearts we know anything else is unaffordable." - the amazing Aurora Levins Morales
