Greetings! I am currently in my off-season as an instructor with the North Carolina Outward Bound School. I split my time between Outward Bound in the summer, and ski-patrolling/EMS in the winter. I am originally from Charlotte, NC, but I've been bouncing around the North Carolina mountains for the past few years. I enjoy the heck out of some climbing, cycling, backpacking, whitewater kayaking, ultimate frisbee, trail-running, caving (oh yeah), canoeing, skiing, board games and so very much more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently travelling out to Moab, Utah to canoe down the Green River in Canyonlands National Park! Although I do a lot of expeditions for work, I rarely get to play in the wilderness on my own terms. So I am stoked! I'm graciously accepting any beds, couches, hardwood floors, or other places I can sleep as I make my way out to the desert.
