Hello hello! My name is Anna, and I am currently walking the Camino de Santiago and traveling in Spain. I am a river guide and primarily work during the summers, but also have a degree in Environmental Science and do seasonal work in this field. Recently I started a masters program in Science Communication.

Traveling is a deeply expansive experience, and it's made more so when there is connection with other authentic/safe humans. I love to spend time with folks and to hold space for people to feel as open and real as possible. I love to read and write; spending time outdoors makes me feel human. I hike, paddle white water, climb, and try to mountain bike. A low maintenance traveler. A nerd.

I have a deeply held land ethic and appreciation for life and love to share in this energy with other people. When spending time with folks, I love to go for walks, share meals, hear people's stories, talk about philosophies and the experiences that make us who we are. I crave authenticity and appreciate the lessons I've learned from all the beautiful folks that have shared bits of themselves with me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am a river guide, and get to paddle whitewater for work! Through this I have seen some beautiful rivers and shared some very meaningful time with folks.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn from people. I believe our lives are a series of lessons learned - that when we share our experiences and philosophies we can enliven each other.

Currently I am on a mission to learn Spanish, and would love a language practice partner!

I participate in many kinds of outdoor recreation, and am always up for an adventure, or just a walk.
