CURRENT MISSION

To learn.

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly and clean person who enjoys learning about pretty much anything. I like being an intellectual, but I also love sports (play soccer and do TaeKwonDo) and pretty much anything outdoors.

Grew up in Eagle River, Alaska where I was THE Heidi from the Mountains.

I am generally optimistic and curious by nature, and of course love adventure.

My travels began when I was young, flying this way and that to the various beaches, mountains and fields of the USA with the soccer team or for Tae Kwon Do tournaments. My fiance grew up in Zambia, Africa, and has inspired me to not just visit but to 'live in' as many places as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

No regrets.

Things that are difficult are the things that are most worth doing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being a courteous guest! Just beginning to host as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed 5 times- all experiences were stellar!

Interests

Sports of all kinds- football, American football, doing anything outdoors like hiking, hunting, fishing, camping, enjoying nature.

Martial arts and military- tactics and self-defense intrigue me.

Other cultures- to learn in order to better understand my world, and also to better myself.

Other interests: religion, food, building things, reading, psychology, sailing, flying, dog-sledding, languages, history, helping others better themselves, becoming a better person myself, to name a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two gigantic bull moose fighting in my front yard! Their eyes were blazing red, their fur was flying, and their antlers were making deafening clashing noises. They smashed into our new car and flipped over the doghouse (our pup Reggie somehow got away safely). There was $2000 damage to our car and a couple of holes in our boat. It was unbelievable!

Teach, Learn, Share

Would be happy to teach about just about anything I know. What I know about:
- Tae Kwon Do
- engineering
- military
- football (American and the rest of the world's style)
- fishing and hunting
- Alaska

I am always looking to improve my rusty German skills, and of course love to learn how to do anything technical, outdoorsy, or to do with sports. Also beginning to expand my cooking skills- PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ONE!
