One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have open water swimming records in the Straits of Mackinac and Lake Superior.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ask me anything about marine biology! Manta rays and sharks are my specialty; I think about them all day. Just looking at a picture of a manta ray makes me feel like my heart will explode.

I also get really excited for every meal. I'm a vegan and I get super into my food. I can prepare you pancakes and smoothies and pastas and desserts that will make you cry (from happiness).

I adore spending time outside -usually alone- more than anything else. I'm pretty good with wilderness survival, so if you plan on getting lost in the woods for an extended period of time, let me know and I'll give you some pointers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am extremely neat, clean, and easy going. I have been so lucky to meet such a unique assortment of positive CSers in the past, and continue to stay open minded to meeting, learning from, and sharing with all kinds of people in the future.
My favorite thing is learning how to do something new (for both of us) with hosts and surfers.
I understand CSing is not just a free bed. I want to hear about your life and your interests and what you think. I want to talk to you and get to know you as much as time allows.
