"And the mangrove island wanders on, afloat and adrift. Its walks teetering and wanton before the wind. Its fate and direction are random." -Anne Dillard, Sojourner.

I tend to do a lot of planning before a trip, only to realize, that when I get there, I like to be spontaneous, and all the planning was really just a means to get the lay of the land, so to speak.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To couchsurf and all the comes with doing so. Very new here and have yet to surf, but looking forward to hitting the couch waves! Couch ahoy!! ;D

Interests

Diverse and numerous. I'm into all things outdoors and sport. Was raised wandering as well as guiding other in the forest and wetlands as well as Western Horseback trail riding. Fundraising educational cycling tours leadership are something I've done internationally several times. Certified hangglider pilot and scuba diver. Professional (currently inactive) competitive disc golfer. I enjoying learning and the exchange of learning with others. I miss having a garden and BBQing outdoors in the peace and quiet of the mountains.
