CURRENT MISSION

Figure out how to make a living from travel

ABOUT ME

My life currently circles around a weekly community newspaper called the Alaska Star. As the editor, I get to put in lots of heart, soul and hours.

When not tapping away at my computer, I can be found telemark skiing, trail running, traveling, watching movies with my boyfriend or playing with my puppy.

I smile a lot. I really enjoy people. I tend to be a perfectionist. I strive to live life to the fullest.

PHILOSOPHY

If you have faith in the world, the world will reveal amazing and beautiful people, places and things.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The girl who I stayed with in Steamboat, while I was there skiing and interviewing for a job, recently showed up on my door step here in Alaska. Couch surfing brought full circle! That's what it's about.
