I'm an aspiring adventurer, born and raised in the PNW. I love being outside in the mountains with my best friends, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, wandering amongst all the evergreen trees. I work in the city at a community pool and pretty much just make sure the programs run smoothly, handle customer service while the boss is gone for the day, and make sure the place doesn't burn down (joke). I hope that one day I can travel the world with my partner and settle down in a cabin somewhere in the cascade mountains, running my own business.

Here is an old page I have on an outdoor website, haven't really kept up with it and with a car accident I had last year I've been slowly recovering and have had to stop adventuring for the time being. Enjoy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to connect with people and experience parts of the area or culture from a local perspective. I could easily stay in a hotel or Airbnb but I want more from my trips than just what is seen through a tourists eyes or have a tourist experience, I crave so much more especially from the food. If theres one thing that I love to get out of my traveling experiences its the amazing food that is available in plane sight but that requires the 'know' of where to look.
