Overview
About Me
Hey! I mostly travel alone, and without any set plan, so I'm excited to use this app to meet people and make things a little easier on the road! I'm a year-round glacier guide, and do a lot of expedition and Alpine Touring guiding too. So basically, I'm most likely going to get back from doing something remarkable and wanting to share stories and hear yours!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I frequently travel without Direction, and to places I've never been or never thought I would want to go. This means I'm always up for an adventure, but also sometimes would love a bed to crash on or some people to hang out with in town.
Interests
Many of those listed above I'm pretty novice, so I'm always looking for advice and or friends to do them with. However I have been a hiking and Ice climbing guide in Alaska for a few years now.
- bouldering
- hiking
- backpacking
- skiing
- snowboarding
- rock climbing
- hockey
- climbing
- ice climbing
- alpine skiing
- splitboarding
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The famous Mendenhall Glacier Ice Caves were all mine for a year-and-a-half. I got to guide on them until they disappeared, but now new ones are opening!
Teach, Learn, Share
While I'm due to the adventuring lifestyle, just three years, I love to hear and listen to everything so I can get as much knowledge and insight as possible and grow. With climbing and Ice climbing particularly I'm always up for new Buddies. Otherwise, I am a very experienced Alpine touring and Summit guide and would love to share these stories with you.
