Teacher. Tinkerer. Hiker and biker.

I make my own bread (often), bike and climb (often), backcountry ski (weekends), and try and bag peaks in-between. I love to cook and listen to music and hang out and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, converse, explore, experience.

Interests

Meeting new people (duh), the outdoors, cooking, reading, enjoying delicious beer and wine and conversation.

Adventure travel (either crazy places or non-existent budget), bikes, trains, foreign languages (esp. French and German), cool architecture (inc. bridges), extreme weather.

I live to cycle, love to climb, and cannot stay out of wild lakes and rivers.

I dabble in photography and need to improve my videography and podcast-ography skills asap!
