About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to conquer the art of living off-the-grid

ABOUT ME

I just moved to NH a few months ago to start a new job. I did a couple long distance cycling tours over the last few years, searching for a perfect spot to call home. I haven't found it yet, so for now this is where I lay my head.

All I know is that I want to continue to explore and meet amazing people, be happy and healthy, live outside and find the man of my dreams haha. And have FUN.

I'd be happy to host up to two people at a time, though my house is literally tiny so one person would be better. Camping on the lawn is always an option. Just give me a couple days heads up and we'll make it happen!! Thanks for your consideration!

PHILOSOPHY

Be silly, be honest, be kind.

"Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air." -Emerson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I witnessed 37 shooting stars in one EPIC night while sailing on the Atlantic Ocean. Magic does exist.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning! I want to take in as much as possible, always. I'd really appreciate learning how to sail, about sustainable farming, natural building, rock climbing, anything regarding outdoor survival, how to surf, and the harp.
