CURRENT MISSION

to grow, explore, and listen well

ABOUT ME

The last few years I've enjoyed working in the summers and traveling in the winters, now I am back home in Homer working once more. I love to hear stories of other folk's travels, I've experienced incredible generosity and kindness in my wanderings and want to pay it forward.

PHILOSOPHY

Those who shun the whimsy of things will experience rigor mortis before death. -Tom Robbins

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend and I hosted a bunch this past summer via my friend's account, all really positive experiences and made me think, this is something I'd like to get into... now I am traveling, and get to be a surfer myself.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Kayaked with whale sharks in Baja California, kind of by accident - we paddled/swam in to each other. Such awe-inspiring beings!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I´m always interested in learning new skills or just learning more about a person. I know a bit about fermentation, gardening, some music theory, book binding..
Joke swaps are always a good thing!
