I live in Washington DC where I play with young children and train adults in improvisation for a living. I love what I do and can talk for hours about play! I enjoy the improvisational act of conversation with strangers.

I love to admire the way trees grow. I am fluent in reading water. I am at home in the mountains. Walking is my preferred mode of exploration.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

The Couchsurfing community is very similar to the thru-hiking community in its inclusive, generous, and welcoming attitudes toward strangers. I look forward to sharing experiences and ideas with people from different places.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Solo thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2017 (2,200 mile). I will happily talk about this experience and answer any questions. I loved every heartbreakingly beautiful step of this journey.
