CURRENT MISSION

To change the world and leave with a good story to tell.

ABOUT ME

All about me... hmmm. I live for the mountains, road trips, microbrews and live music. I pretend to be a cook, but really just add cheese to everything.

Please feel free to reach out for any reason - I love meeting people and sharing stories.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm sure it mirrors many backpackers' out there - love and hospitality. There is so much to experience. I look to learn from others and genuinely pay it forward. If you've spent any time couchsurfing, I'm sure you understand this!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed to the top of Mount Rainier (14,400ft), run the Portland Marathon and gone out of my way to experience some of the more beautiful and fascinating places and things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook almost as much as I love to eat and am always looking for new and local recipes to try out. Offer me a pan and I'll put dinner on the table! I've also spent a fair amount of timing climbing and mountaineering and love getting lost in new places.
