Howdy there! I’m Wyatt (he/him), a PhD student studying glaciers. I recently moved to Fairbanks from Anchorage. I grew up in upstate New York and found my way to Alaska in 2023.

I’m very into the outdoors, particularly human-powered adventure! Nothing beats a bike ride or run through the woods. Fairbanks has a lot to offer and I'm happy to give recommendations or join you on an adventure. I enjoy playing guitar and singing. Spanish is a second language that I’m working on. I spent 2 months studying in Spain when I was in college.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy sharing experiences in the outdoors. While I’m still very much learning myself, I’m happy to share the skills I’ve learned while in the Alaskan backcountry. I’ve taught a few CouchSurfers to surf the Bore Tide in Turnagain Arm!

I am always excited to learn new languages. I’d like to learn more about woodworking and farming.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music, positive energy, outdoors skills, new perspectives, random facts about glaciers :)
