I'm a Floridian North Carolinian trying to live my values. A summer of travelling out West in our national parks catalyzed an upheaval in my life. I sold most of my possessions, dumpster dived for 3 months, and withdrew from UNC-Chapel Hill to give myself a gap year(s) for self exploration which includes an Alaskan adventure and a year of farm work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's alot of good people in this world. I seek connection and story sharing and an embodied travelling experience.

Interests

I'm my most authentic Self in Nature with a pack on my back, hanging on a rock wall or flowing down a river. I have a migratory soul and love travelling. Everyone has a story and teachings to share. I'm pretty content with a book in my hand. I squat a lot trying to identify plant friends. Also food. I dabble in fermenting, dehydrating, and other half finished side projects.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

25 national parks in 2 1/2 months from the Rio in Big Bend to the glaceated peaks of the Cascades in Washington.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ask me about national parks. Lets go dumpster diving and cook together. What's on your book shelf? What makes you feel alive? Small talk is boring.
