I'll probably be crashing to climb...anything, but perhaps a music festival, or who knows? Regardless the reason, I'll most likely want to collaborate on dinners, will be quiet in the am, (and have coffee when u wake), and want to sing, dance, play chess, tell stories or find my own space in the pm...

Laid back, exuberant about anything and an "enigma wrapped in a hug," as one friend concisely defined me in 5 words! What are 5 words - in or not in a sentence - that define you?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because Airbnb is Juuuuuuuust a little less personable, e.g. 70% of my Airbnb's are solo with no hosts around...

Interests

Whew, uh:

Climbing rocks, (read is rad), alpine rock, mixed or ice...ice cragging, reading, history, horses, backpacking, swimming, and kayaking with an attraction to banter about the taboo...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Died thrice

Teach, Learn, Share

Numerous undergrads and minors - then skipped along through a 2 decade full spectrum of locations and palate of occupations lending myself the will to take on and learn new skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation, mad cooking skills, anything construction, arborist or mechanically related - joy and laughter or tender respect and peace.
