I was born and raised in a small fishing town in Alaska. I grew up hunting and fishing and gathering berries and exploring the woods and mountains. I had an wonderful childhood. I attended college in Idaho for several years and graduated with my Bachelors in Recreational Leadership. I spent 10 years coaching Volleyball and I truly love the game. I am now living in Southern Utah and working for an airline and finally getting around to seeing the entire world. My bucket list is long and varied---from Kayaking in the Mediterranean, to taking a train from Vladivostok to Moscow, Exploring Bali, and Dogsledding in Greenland--there are more than 500 things I would like to accomplish If I can. I would love for your home to be the next stop on my journey.

As I work for an airline I fly standby most places--so sometimes I am unable to make a flight if the load is too high--if so I will contact you directly to let you know that I won't be making it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people and see how they live their daily lives. I enjoy exploring countries and cultures, taking pictures and making memories. I feel like the opportunity to experience another persons home and lifestyle is a great chance to see beyond our own limited scope and appreciate the uniqueness of each corner of the globe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 2 days climbing the Huangshan Mountains in China-- the second day a severe rainstorm came up and the entire mountain turned into a giant living waterfall--it was an amazing experience.
