I enjoy climbing and exploring the world. I'm a labor lawyer by day. I've traveled to a fair number of places over the years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly through couch-surfing, but I am looking forward to hosting at some point in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch-surfed through New Zealand, and it was one of the best parts of the trip.

Interests

I work as a lawyer protecting workers' rights, and I love that work. Working for workers is important to me. I also try to climb and get outside as much as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in an earthquake in Christchurch, that was pretty crazy. The awestruck moments are hard to catalog. They rarely correspond to what should be the most important thing, and are often surprising. On a trip to Machu Picchu the stand out moment was not seeing it from the Sun Gate, but was sitting on a rock at one of the camps on the Inka Trail with my partner, watching clouds move over and among the mountains as twilight fell.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a lot about climbing and I just took a wilderness first aid course.
