Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i mostly camp so only CS when I can’t find a spot to pitch a hammock or safely car camp. I have a couch, lots of outdoor space for camping, or a private room you could toss a sleeping bag on the floor. Life's pretty full right now so I probably can't show you around, but I'm happy to provide a place to crash and eat and wash up overnight

Interests

Hiking, Dark Sky locations, cycling, gardening, kayaking, animation, knitting, sewing, reading, yoga, guitar, gentle people, picnics, long drives with the windows down, camping, organized litter pick-ups, rivers, stargazing, low blood pressure, painting, wheel-throwing, sunshine, thoughtfulness, things that grow, knot-tying, infographics, fire, avoiding sunburn, maintaining a doomsday supply of Qtips, podcasts, reading some more. I used to want to be an astronomer until I realized there was math involved. I'd like to hike the PCT, Tierra del Fuego, El Camino, learn to surf, hunt, dance salsa, drive a stick, use a chainsaw, bow shoot, do handstands, fish, play mandolin, and slackline.... I have a whole bucket list. Maybe you can help me out with some of those.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ooooof. Um. Oh, I don’t know. Recently candling my chicken’s eggs to see the fluttery little embryos growing inside was pretty freaking amazing. I also flipped a kayak 7 times in 2 hours. I feel like that’s a record. I also participated in an inflatable T-Rex Guinness World Records 3k run
