I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska. I like to be active, try new things, see new places. I studied biochemistry but literature is my passion. If you contact me please recommend a book! (especially since winter is coming..) I'm a diehard Alyeska fan and love to ski. As a guest I am low key and self-sufficient, but I'm certainly always game to tag along! No matter how many amazing places I see, I think Adele said it best with: "the people I've met are the wonders of my world."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting and staying with locals has enriched my experiences beyond measure. Locals answer the questions you didn't know you had and show you places you didn't know to look for. I love connecting with people who are as keen to explore and share their world as I am.
