Outdoor educator currently off duty. Living nomadically and doing it all. When I’m not in the mountains, I’m based out of my trusty dusty car. I enjoy slow mornings, dramatic sunsets, rock climbing, reading, learning, deep belly laughs, stories, connecting with others, good coffee, music, movement, and trying new food. I’m curious about life, people, place, and everything in between. Open to doing just about anything, I enjoy seeing a place through the eyes of someone else and sharing experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet locals and travelers and share experiences, good conversations, and kindnesses. Currently don’t have anywhere I call home, and I think that makes me more open to connecting with others and cherishing those fleeting moments to build that sense of place/home/community in the world.
