Hello!

I am a river/park ranger traveling the US. I have lived in VA, CA, AK, NV, MT, TX, UT, CO, ID, AZ, and OR.

I have a 2 year old poodle mix who is my emotional support dog/service dog in training. When I'm working in an office she patrols with me and attends meetings. She is pretty shy at first but has yet to meet a person or dog she doesn't like.

Rafting is my current obsession and I have a job 8 months out of the year as a river ranger.

I apologize for a lack of hosting... I just moved into my place and am working on creating an extra space.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I would like to build a network (and karma) for future traveling since I move often.
So far the people on this site are like-minded in their open, giving, and adventurous attitudes.

Interessen

Everything in my current life revolves around paddling, my dog, art, reading, or public lands.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I lived in Kodiak AK for a year. During that time I got trapped on a bear viewing work trip due to weather.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Let's swap recipes. I collect them in my travels.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I'm social, adventurous, but also happy doing my own thing. If you would like a friend to try something new I'm up for it.

I am more than happy to cook for hosts, buy you some beer (and help you drink it hopefully), give art lessons, recommend books, or go rafting/kayaking. I can pitch in for utilities for longer stays.
