CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy my life to the fullest, connect with great people, and utilize my energy to affect positive change in the World.

ABOUT ME

ENTP who laughs a lot. I'm passionate about most things, love traveling and adventuring around the world!!!

Roadtripping x-country from Alaska to NYC in my badass campervan ‘Baby Beluga’.

Bi-continental lifestyle studying a Masters in sustainability. Been living in Alaska for over 9 years, but am originally from FL.

I dig outdoor stuff like snowboarding, hiking, fishing, camping, diving, etc. I love going out, seeing live music, & dancing. I’m an open book w/ opinions to share.

I make an honest effort to find commonality with people who I encounter in my life. I am someone who enjoys having fun above all. I have a deep respect and regard for the natural environment and try to take every opportunity to spend time outside. Professionally, I try to apply my skills to better the World and the Human Condition. I have a strong passion for experiencing the most out of life and all that it offers. I often find myself with more energy than most, which can be a blessing and a curse.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a host and a surfer.

I live in a premiere tourist destination and would like to provide a place for cool independent budget-conscious travelers to stay when traveling through Juneau.

I am also an avid traveler myself and consequently would like to meet and stay with locals when on the road.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted and surfed over the years and love meeting new people from around the world.

Interests

I enjoy a variety of outdoor pursuits including but not limited to snowboarding, kayaking & canoeing, camping, scuba diving & snorkeling, & hiking. I also love experiencing new cultures, whether it be music, literature, art, film, or dance (I host a weekly radio show at one of our public radio stations, KXLL). I enjoy conversing with individuals of all walks of life and making genuine connections with people. I enjoy dancing, reveling, and partying but also relish the chill times. I'm also huge history buff and map nerd (Geography major and History minor).
