About Me

I’m an aspiring sheep farmer doing seasonal work til I’m ready to buy my own land. I’m also an artist - mainly a weaver but also dabble in other fiber arts (felting, knitting, embroidery, basket making etc). I can kind of draw, kind of sew, and kind of build things.

Most of the time I'd rather be outside. I trail run (let’s go for a run!!), rock climb (though I’m new-ish too it), hike, camp, ski, and bird. I’m happy as long as there’s a trail underfoot and trees or sky overhead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people on the road and hear about their favorite places! There’s something to learn from everyone and I think couchsurfing is an amazing way to bring us likeminded travelers together.

Looking for hiking/running spots, the best bagel in town, drinks and company, or just somewhere to crash for the night

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a month and a half driving across the country solo, sleeping in my car, wwoofing, hiking, and exploring.

Also lived in rural Iceland for 2 months on an artist residency. Saw the aurora almost ever night.
