Hello, I'm Jadzia!

I moved to Alaska from New Mexico this summer. When I'm not working, I'm rock climbing, hiking, slacklining, reading, or wandering around somewhere new.

After my contract in AK I’m planning to take a NOLS course in mountaineering and sea kayaking, and can hopefully find work as a guide and travel as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m really excited about the concept of Couchsurfing. Not only does it make traveling affordable, but it makes it way more fun. Traveling is about places, but equally about people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently spent 2 months in the middle east traveling around. I saw Petra, slept on someone's rooftop, hitch hiked, and fell in love with fresh figs.
