CURRENT MISSION

Challenge myself to embrace the moment and to use my body and mind to create beauty

ABOUT ME

While I work a traditional professional job, a good portion of my soul is gypsy. I am at my element when surrounded by new people, and am happiest in the summers when I run away with the circus.

I live to learn. Over the past three years, I have taken up ukulele and juggling, vastly improved my limited Spanish skills, and learned to mountain bike and telemark ski.

I am outgoing, intense, strong-willed, and enthusiastic. I like to dance in a goofy-athletic sort of way! My newest aspiration is to create a circus act from jumprope tricks.

PHILOSOPHY

Learning, growing. Live now; be happy.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking for places to stay during my travels, and to meet interesting locals abroad and travelers in my own town.

I would be interested in showing visitors around Anchorage, and may be able to host - this depends on my roommate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm not a fan of hotels, and crash with friends whenever possible. I don't hesitate to sleep in my car or camp. On my next few adventures, I'd love to stay with locals.
