Hello! A little bit about me: I've a restless personality; I don't like just sitting around. In the summer months, I love any and all things outdoors in my beautiful home of Juneau - fishing, yaking, fishing while yaking, gardening, hiking, running, climbing or bouldering, biking, and yadayadayada. In the darker winter months, I tend to read and knit and play the mandolin a lot more, while still getting outside to ski and hike and yak.

I'm pretty obsessed with Juneau, so I don't leave too often; but when I do travel to new places, getting a more personal experience of that place from a local that loves where they live as well seems like the way to go!
