Hello! I grew up in Northern California, but now I live in Southern Chile working on environmental education and conservation projects. Every now and then, I try to get out and travel to see other wild places to learn from the land and it's people. Food + the ocean always drive my travel desires, while I also am passionate about local crafts and our connection with plants. While I love small villages, or remote wild places; the perks of visiting a city every now and then can be quite nice too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to learn about different cultures - listening to music, hearing stories of the past and present and sharing a traditional meal. I believe the best stories from come the land, the community and it's elders. Couchsurfing provides a unique opportunity to meet others and experience their rhythm of life in their home...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My time in remote Patagonia always stands out to me as a time of adaptation and growth.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to spend time in the water or go hiking in the mountains. It would be nice to cook a meal together using local food. I am happy to teach you how to stand up paddle!
