Hi! I'm Avery, from Juneau, Alaska. I'm currently making my way from Hawaii to New Zealand and would love to meet some new folks along the way.

I've spent time as a working musician, and love meeting and playing with others of any skill level. Back home I build guitars as a hobby. A lifetime skier and hiker, I'm looking for people to join me in nature and explore the outdoors.

I'm new to Couchsurfing, yet well seasoned in traveling, and hold great importance in respect for people and their homes.
One of my favorite things about getting out in the world is the cast of characters you encounter along the way. It would be a pleasure to meet you and share your space!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done... Hmm. Graduated college? You may not be amazed but my parents were.

Traversing the Juneau Icefield by Ski with the Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP).

Surviving the dark, cold, depressing Alaskan winter year after year without ending it all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach guitar lessons back home and I carry travel-sized guitar with me. If you're interested in learning how to play guitar, I'd be more than happy to teach you a few things.
