About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To truly thrive.

ABOUT ME

Nature. Culture. Solitude. Community. I value these equally.

PHILOSOPHY

I understand that I am my culture. By the connections I make, and the traditions I observe, I create culture. I also understand how culture is linked with environment, in my case the mountains and their rivers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host, connect, share meals, go on hikes, swap stories and explore this beautiful area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many times have I crashed on couches in many parts of the world... but never through this network. The surfers I've hosted have been truly enriching so far...

Interests

Hiking, backcountry telemark skiing, whitewater kayaking, backpacking, photography, storytelling, cooking, bees, woodworking and gardening.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

...just one?...

Teach, Learn, Share

I am most comfortable in natural wilderness, perhaps I can help others to feel this too... Currently I understand much about the politics of food, while I love learning new ways to cook it.
