I am a triathlete who likes to explore the outdoors on two feet or two wheels. So far, I have visited six continents (look out, Antarctic penguins!) and would like to experience the natural areas of the world and learn about the people who live there. When I'm home in DC, I like to cook and take my cat for walks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to learn about places beyond the guidebook and hotel concierge staff. Likewise, I'd like to help people experience DC through a local's eyes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I finished an Ironman triathlon at 7000 feet elevation--and the snow!
