Spontaneous traveler. Always looking for a new adventure in a new land with lots of new people to meet! I wait tables at a brewery and teach outdoor education seasonally - birding, foraging, travelling are my side hobbies. I am a 25 year old Michigander.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first solo adventure without companions has brought me upon you all and I'm looking to meet new people and explore someplace wicked beautiful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiked
Picked up hitch-hikers (my fave)
Climbed a couple mountains (smaller but hey, they're still mountains!)
Paid off my car
Learned how to successfully use power tools
Drank a whole six pack of Two-Hearted Ale
Ate poisonous mushrooms and am here to tell you about it
Saw three pileated woodpeckers at the same time
Crossed my eyes once and got them stuck

I mean, how amazing are we talking? Every day something cool happens.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always learning and proceeding with an open-mind. My favorite thing ever is teaching kiddos about the plants in Michigan and getting them stoked about the outdoors. I've worked at a brewery for two years and have some gained collective knowledge about craft brews. I knitted a scarf once... definitely could use more help with that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Philosophy, conversation, books, ideas, fresh air, laughs and whatever comes along.
