I recently quit my job (hence the small budget and lack of verification), and am starting a new phase of my life. I'm figuring out what comes next, and redefining my definition of what it looks like to contribute to the world. In the process, I'm travel around Europe for a few months, hoping to learn some news skills, see old friends, and meet new ones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a limited budget and have limited interest in typical touristy things. I much prefer to see and learn as much about a place from the perspective of those who live there.

Interests

I love being active and outdoors. Rock climbing is at the top of my list, but enjoy just about anything out in nature. I really love working with my hands, building or crafting things - wood and clay are my preferred mediums. I'm happiest when surrounded by music, and spending lots of time in the kitchen with good company.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently sailed across the Pacific, following/peacefully protesting a Shell oil rig en route to the Arctic.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty good at puzzles/fixing things, also decent with rope. I can teach you the basics of climbing or operating small boats. I'm a decent cook, better baker, but enjoy picking up new tricks and recipes from new folks. I'd really love to learn more about sustainable design and farming, woodworking, and probably a hundred more things I don't even know yet.
