Alaska born and raised. So I enjoy the outdoor activities and can tolerate the cold.

Nature inspired, dog lover, wanderlust, coffeeholic, amateur photographer, adventurer, and a dork at heart. I love trying new things and keeping an open mind.

I am always in search for photography friends, people who love to ski/snowboard and wanderlusts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosting:

I want to contribute to the community of travelers and make them feel welcomed, while giving them the best Alaska has to offer. I like to give travelers a local's perspective, and outside of Anchorage we can both act like tourists together as I am still discovering new things about my homeland.

I do my best to make time for everyone I host, so my hosting days are very limited and I usually have my status under "currently not accepting guests" because of this.

Surfing:

I usually travel solo and on a budget. I would like to meet some friendly and genuine people and to get to know about them as they show me around their homeland. Traveling with company is always appreciated and never an ordinary day to me.

Let's be friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had my selfie stick eaten by a fox, almost got swallowed by a whale shark, charged by a bull moose, drifted a lamborghini, took a nap in the Stonehenge circle, and slid down a snowy mountain headfirst (on accident) and survived to tell the tale.
