I work online, so am available to travel at just about any time and to any place. I will never tire of exploring this awesome planet and meeting people along the way.
I'm a Christian and I love everyone, but just because I have a faith does not mean I'm not interested in learning about yours.
I grew up in Alaska. This instilled a deep love for the outdoors and self-sufficiency.
I was a bartender for 7 years and can still mix up the best cocktail you've ever had for any occasion ;)
I've learned to be content with everything I have (or lack there of). One of the only things I'm actively trying to acquire is memories and adventures.
I'm the Director of Operations for a rather large company. I'm not used to the corporate structure, but I'm a remote employee and work online, so when I'm not traveling, I work from my awesome couch :)
Although I'm spontaneous and a free spirit, I'm still responsible with finances, work, etc. There's always time to buckle down, as well as time to play. The key is to remain joyful in both seasons.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people and places!

Interests

I love pretty much everything. Music, reading, writing, traveling, laughing, eating, running, learning, skiing, diving, climbing, hiking, fishing. I often feel that John Muir and I would have been best buddies.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all music and thoroughly enjoy live shows of all kinds. I read anything and everything and have what some would say is "too many books."
My favorite director is Guy Ritchie, so I love those kinds of witty, action movies (Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Rock'n Rolla).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Honestly, there are too many to count. I'm continually amazed by the people and places around the world, but one memory that sticks out at the moment would have to be when I took some of my Floridian college friends back to Alaska last summer. We hiked up to the Mendenhall Glacier and went ice-climbing---even though I grew up there, it was such a surreal experience, and even better to see how awestruck my friends were :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a certified English Teacher. I have minors in Philosophy, German, and American Sign Language. Other than that, I'm sure we can learn much from one another!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can bring food for a shared meal (and cook!). I'm a pretty good story teller, and an even better listener, and am very good at keeping in touch. Basically, I'm excited to have more friends!
