About Me

Currently a professional Nomad, most recently leading adventure road trips around the US. I love to be outdoors always, primarily hiking but I'm down to try anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and expand my travel possibilities! I love the traveling community. While I can't currently host (due to a somewhat nomadic lifestyle at the moment), I'd love to pay it forward in the future.

Interests

Anything outdoors, all sorts of nerdy things, anthropology, writing/reading, choral performing.

  • writing
  • cooking
  • instructor
  • reading
  • traveling
  • outdoor activities
  • archery
  • anthropology

Music, Movies, and Books

My music interests change every other week, but I'm always looking for new suggestions! I have done a bit of classical singing, so I do have a taste for classical, particularly modern classical. But also I love anything good in indie, alternative, singer songwriter, etc. As for books I am a total nerd, I love sci-fi of a slightly more literary bent (Ursula LeGuin, Octavia Butler, Margaret Atwood, etc.).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learning Spanish in a school in rural Guatemala last winter!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a certified archery instructor, so I'm happy to teach that! I've also get some outdoor camping skills I'm happy to share, I'd love to go hiking and share what I know! I'm working on learning Spanish so happy for any teaching there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to help with cooking, cleaning, whatever you need around the house. Definitely after travel guiding in the US I can provide lots of advice if you're ever looking to travel here.
