I love memory building experiences and learning about new things! I'm a pretty even mix of introvert/extrovert, but I generally prefer shared experiences to solo stuff. I like to explore the nuances of life, so things like art, music, and food are areas of interest to me--but nothing is more interesting than people. I love a good story.

Some of my favorite activities are: hiking/camping, partner-dancing, bonfires, concerts/plays, eating good food and drinking good drinks, talking to people about more than the weather, and getting lost in a book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love shareing in the human experience with other people. Humanity is best when we help each other!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Mount St. Helens on a whim after no sleep. We started the hike later than we should have, but ended up summiting just before the sunset. It was worth it!
