ABOUT

I feel like I grow with each day and with each moment. I find myself to be most happy when I'm truly connecting with others, when I feel that I'm a part of a community and when I'm learning, walking, breathing, dancing, and living with integrity.
I strive to find simplicity and inner calmness and remain present in each moment.

I love to be outdoors and active and try to live as lightly as possible. I like to think that I'm very open minded to new ideas and experiences. I enjoy a large variety of activities from hiking to going out and dancing to sitting down and having a good conversation. I love to learn from people and from experiences and hope that I can use what I learn to make a positive impact!

PHILOSOPHY
Simplicity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ahh! How do I choose one! Everyday is an amazing thing! ... Well here's a few:

-hiking all over new zealand experiencing alps, hot springs, glaciers, volcanoes, and just about every amazing thing nature could have to offer in one little country
-hitch hiking all over Ireland and New Zealand, meeting some of the most amazing people, and constantly experiencing the kindness of strangers
-2 months in true Alaska interior wilderness surveying plants
-hiked 500 breath taking miles through California's high sierras

Teach, Learn, Share

A bit about our beautiful natural world around us, about long distance backpacking, how to cook delicious vegan dishes..
I feel that a lot of lessons are taught with very few words and without a conscious realization. I'm sure I will be learning from you without realizing it and hope I can be doing the same!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach some yoga, make healthy and delicious food, bring good beer to share, clean up any messes, help with anything needing to be done, and offer some good company!
