CURRENT MISSION: Live to learn. Learn to love. Love to laugh.

I'm a vivacious gal who likes to dance, laugh, cook, and play outdoors.

I once guided blind students on mountainous treks in far away lands, I now take veterans with disabilities on backpacking & mountaineering expeditions.

I make a mean basil lemonade.

PHILOSOPHY

"Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosted a few, surfed with with a few, watched over homes for a few, and when I can I reciprocate the favor-

Interests

Delicious meals, daydreaming about having a dog, sunflowers, running, hiking, climbing, mountain-biking, reading, pretending to play harmonica, getting caught in the rain, freshly squeezed fruit juice, skiing, tree-climbing, paddle boarding/kayaking, being outside, dwelling in possibility, embracing awkward moments, loving life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much all music- if it has a good beat and doesn't make my ears hurt I'm down to listen

I'm a voracious reader. And yes, I leave books on park benches with notes attached saying please read and pass it on

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched the faces of people when they realized they have finished a trek they thought they would never make, when they have summited a mountain they thought they could never climb, and when they have found someone they truly care about.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to run... I am most willing to help you find good trails to run/ hike while you're in town if you ask real nicely.

I love food... And love to cook with people especially. Swap cooking secrets? Let's concoct a mouthwatering meal, yes?

I like to write. Stay with me & give me some fodder to write about!
