Currently living the dream in Patagoniaaaaa, working for a small adventure travel company just outside of Torres del Paine National Park.

I'm a super easy going, curious and open minded person with a thirst for adventure. I love sharing and meeting new people. I seem to have some kind of grand love affair with South America, where I have spent a tremendous amount of time over the last 10 years. When I'm not in South America you can probably find me in Michigan, my beautiful home state.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the good times.

Interests

Traveling, duh.

Hammocks are really great...

Scuba diving! Under the sea bah bah bah bah under the sea. The best kind of exploration.

Craft beverages! I'm allll about great beer, coming from Michigan I am very spoiled. Wine has also taken my heart. I would love to make you a cocktail any day of the week, especially with some local ingredients. I'm quite passionate about mixing drinks, though I prefer to drink beer and wine :)

Creative writing and in particular weird poetry. I've spent many years as a creative writing group facilitator in Michigan's correctional facilities, which has undoubtedly shaped the way that think and write.

I really like food, the dining experience. I miss cheese when I am away from home.

Reading is nice, even better when traveling because you have the time for it.

Anything outside, hiking, camping, the sun, swimming, exploring, you know.
