CURRENT MISSION

Experiencing life and being Awesome

ABOUT ME
I am currently living in Scottsdale Arizona working as an Outdoor Adventure Guide for Arizona Outback Adventures. I've served as a US Peace Corps Volunteer in Botswana. I have a degree in Exercise Science and another degree in Ecotourism and Adventure Travel. Spent a few seasons working as a Canopy Tour Guide in the Hocking Hills Area of, Ohio. Worked as a Wilderness Therapy Field Instructor in Wisconsin. Spent a summer doing Sea Kayak Guiding through the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior. Now I'm exploring the desert and saving up some money to hopefully go to New Zealand for a year :)

PHILOSOPHY

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. – Mark Twain

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Even though I've been a member for over a year I have never officially couch surfed. I have been able to help people plan their trips when I was staying in Botswana. So far the experience has been positive.

Interessen

The outdoors, especially camping, whitewater rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking and hiking. I also really enjoy my hammock. I love yoga too.
