About Me

I work most of the year as a travel guide, but love to adventure more freely in my off season. I travel because I want to better understand the diversity of the world and because it sharpens my love for life. I have a degree in environmental science and in the past have worked in outdoor guiding, non profits, farms, restaurants, a sculpture studio, a science lab, etc. I keep my body and mind happy with activities like running, biking, climbing, skiing, surfing, free diving, high lining, caving, etc. Right now I’m traveling with climbing and free diving equipment!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really care about intentional travel, sharing experiences with people who are grounded and inspired. I’d love to learn about your life. I’m not as motivated by rushing around or sight seeing. My couch surfing journey started by accident, when I met hosts while already traveling. I absolutely loved those experiences and decided to follow their advice to make an account!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently I’ve been bikepacking more often - so far in Costa Rica, Peru, and Morocco. I’m starting to plan a trip for Southeast Asia this January and February!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook together, share music, and spend time in nature. I think it’s good to hold onto childlike curiosity and silliness. I also appreciate serious conversations.
