About Me

Im from Western Colorado and traveling randomly. I started my travels in Kenya in January 2017 Not entirely sure what I'm searching for (passion, purpose, direction) all I know is that I don't want to stop before I find it or it finds me. I feel intolerably curious about everything; often get lost in thinking about all the intricacies of life.

Ive done most adventure sports, but find Rock Climbing, Mtn Biking and Hiking to be the most captivating at this moment. Also really enjoy art and philosophy, contrast and perspective.
I'm often referred to as kind, soft spoken, sensitive and thoughtful. I really love good insightful conversations and listening to people's concerns. Im easy going and easy to please also like to think of my self as tolerant, open minded and accepting to others views on life.
I can often be hard to read or awkward (so I've been told) but when people open up to me and feel comfortable in my presence it really means the world to me 😊

I Love Food! Anything, all day everyday!
My favourite foods generally are more vegetables than meat, packed full of flavour and wet or saucy.
Soup 😍

"I want to see the world in every gradient of light as I learn to appreciate every molecule of life."

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing any knowledge and or idea I think could assist or help. I'm constantly researching anything and everything as I always prefer a bit of research over assumptions. The more I learn the less I know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ideas, travel stories, English, food, company...
I'm always up to help over sitting around, cleaning fixing things or help with project or personal goals.
