I love exploring and trying to cover as much of the earth as possible! I love the outdoors and am an avid hiker and backpacker. I like to travel as light as possible and would eventually like to try out a minimalist lifestyle if I can! I am currently working on starting my own business around social media management and webinar based learning opportunities!

I am also working with a non-profit in Montana. I am usually pretty busy because I have a hard time saying no to great opportunities! I juggle it all and make it work though!

In the free time I do have, I like to hike and explore the outdoors! When I'm feeling lazy or the weather isn't cooperating, I like to watch Netflix (documentaries and sitcoms mostly) and try out new recipes! I have a pet bearded dragon, and I wish he could come traveling with me but he has to stay home!

find me on instagram @pepperhikes if you want to message me or get to know me better! (or message me here too!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For exploring! I love to meet new people and I think this is such a great platform for doing so! I travel when I can but it gets expensive, so I do what I can to cut down on costs!

Once i get my business running and start paying down my debts I am planning on traveling, even more, there is still so much of the world I haven't explored! I'd love to meet you along the way.

Interests

I think the list pretty much covers it! A healthy mixture of outdoors and environmental awareness and social media marketing/blogging, and general tech stuff. Check out my hiking blog at www.pepperhikes.com if you want!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2012- Read the entire Harry Potter series in one week!

2017- Dug my car out of a snow bank using a Starbucks cup 🙈(Not well planned, but I used the resources I had and made it work!)

2017 - walked a few miles in the snow to my Airbnb in Japan at night while wearing Converse because I didn't plan very well...these are the cons of being spontaneous I suppose....

2018- Hiked the John Muir Trail (~250 miles altogether!)

Okay, that's more than one. But hey, I'm pretty awesome ;) and very humble.
