I am 26 years old, from Utah in the USA. (I grew up in the Mormon church but am no longer religious). I love the mountains and open land near my hometown! I graduated college at USU in 2021. Since then, I have worked for several years as a climbing arborist, starting my own company in 2024!

I am really interested in the inner workings of the human mind and what makes a good life and a healthy society. I love meeting new people and learning about the perspectives of other cultures.

I love to read and write, draw, make pottery, cook and eat good food, and get lost in a conversation. I also love to hike and swim. Of course, all of these things are more fun in new places!

I cherish my friends above all else, as well as my 5 younger half siblings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
