I live in Los Angeles. I enjoy road trips, hiking and camping; plus exploring both urban and wilderness landscapes. I have spent most of my life living in Massachusetts but have lived in California for over 15 years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new people in my home city or while I'm traveling in order to share life and learn from each other.

Interests

I spent 8 years working in experiential education, where I learned a lot about the dynamics of people in social settings. I also realized a lot about the importance of learning to communicate and understand people as individuals. I acquired a great appreciation for exploring the outdoors at a young age and that passion for the outdoors has continued on throughout my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many years ago, I traveled across the Pacific Ocean from Honolulu to Long Beach by boat.

Teach, Learn, Share

For other avid outdoors folk, I can offer information about hiking, camping & boondocking all over North America in various places I've traveled over the years. I've spent time traveling around every part of the US except the Southeast, which I'll get around to eventually. I've been to Alaska and all over Western Canada. Only one state in the US I've never visited.
