I'm working as a wilderness guide at a therapeutic treatment center for young adults 18-28 in recovery from drug addiction. I take them on 8-day backpacking and canoeing trips and teach them about wilderness skills, ecology, healthy communication, etc.

I moved to Asheville in April for my job and am hoping to meet people who want to go on outdoorsy adventures, meet for coffee, toss frisbee, make music (or go see some). My job is pretty intense, so I really like to be lighthearted and have fun when I'm off.
