I live in Colorado working as a wilderness therapy guide, which means I'm out in the wilderness for 15 days at a time, helping teens with therapeutic work relating to their anxiety, depression, substance abuse, etc. I teach primitive skills such as bow drilling, lead yoga and meditation sessions, and most vitally keep everyone physically and emotionally safe. When I'm not outside all the time at work, I'm usually... outside. Mountain biking, hiking, snowboarding... Sometimes I stay in to write music or cook and hang with friends. I love the Earth and the people on it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with folks around the world, spreading cheer and love. I would be more than happy to share with you any of my wilderskills, musical propensities, cooking, poetry, etc. I don't have much money to offer, but I am happy to give back in any way I can.
