ABOUT ME

"The two men obeyed, quietly, without fear; for it is the future which presses upon the man, not the present." -Jack London, The Wisdom of the Trail

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy learning, and meeting new people. Everyone has a story and Couchsurfing is a great way to hear and meet some wonderful people around the world!

Interests

Talk to me about anything and everything!! Im an avid reader and writer, I'm way too tall (but its a good thing), always open to new things and ideas, and I love to be outdoors hiking or camping or doing anything! I'm a freelance photographer, I shoot mostly landscapes and wildlife as well as lifestyle and portraits.

Music, Movies, and Books

Top 10 artists I listen to: Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Penny & Sparrow, Ben Howard, Hozier, Fleetwood Mac, Simon and Garfunkel, Van Morrison, James Taylor, and M83. (Wow that was hard).

Top 10 movies: Saving Private Ryan, The Birdcage, Hot Rod, Baby Mama, Inglorious Bastards, Into the Wild, The Princess Bride, anything Wes Anderson has done, Pride & Prejudice, and Nacho Libre. (That was even harder???)

Top ten books: The Princess Bride, Into the Wild, Of Mice and Men, Walden, Nature/Walking, To Build a Fire & Other Short Stories, Scattered Poems by Jack Kerouac, The Shining, White Fang, and anything by Oliver Sachs.

Well there you have it! I know for a fact I have forgotten all the ones I really love most, that's how it works, right?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have driven from from southeast Alaska to Texas. A couple of friends and I went through Canada crossing borders at Montana and then headed west to go down the west coast! It was a long and arduous journey, but amazing all the while.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some things about photography, wolves, or English! I volunteered at a wolf sanctuary while I lived in Colorado where I got to be immersed in their behaviors and I learned so much about them. This is a dangerous subject because once you get me talking about them I won't shut up. Fair warning!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share laughs, stories, and I'm a good cook!
