A stranger is just a friend you haven't yet met. Well it's nice to meet you, I'm looking forward to getting to know each other!

Artist, adventurer and dreamer – an eclectic collection of experiential wisdom and silliness. Poetry, photography, and guitar are just a few of my hobbies - oh and of course anything outdoors. I look for the beauty in all places and value all experience as an opportunity to learn and grow. I do my best to be the change I want to see in the world.

Seeking out new experiences and new friends along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and connect with the wonderful people of the world! To truly live in the now moment and embrace all that the present has to offer. I am happy to lend a helping hand and would love nothing more than to share and explore with you and to have a good laugh together!

Interests

Find me anywhere and everywhere outdoors, it's where I feel most at home.

I love to create. For me that is why we are here, to love, create, and to grow.

Music, Movies, and Books

Good music isn't defined by a genre, I will listen to just about anything - same goes for movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked the entirety of the 2,200 mile long Appalachian Trail solo with no previous backpacking or camping experience. I would definitely recommend any long distance hiking trail available to you, be it for just a weekend at a time, a week or month long trip, or longer – it is an experience I struggle to find words for. Worth every bit of energy it takes.

Teach, Learn, Share

•Dare to explore what inspires you. Never stop moving forward. Follow your heart and live your dreams.

•Like the current of a river guiding water to the ocean, the heart, unseen, tugs and pulls us in the direction we need to be going.

•The road may not always take you where you intended, but it will always take you forward.

•Learn from any and every experience shared – joyful, painful, beautiful.. from everything there is wisdom to be gained.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook as well as bake and am not afraid to get my hands dirty cleaning. I have somewhat of a knack for organizing or I can help you move that furniture for the redecorating you were planning. I am happy to lend a helping hand with whatever it is that you need assistance with at the moment!
