CURRENT MISSION

To adventure on a motorcycle in all 50 of the United States and Canada and meet interesting people. My best friend and I are currently bike nomads. Check out our blog at www.twistandzoom.com.

ABOUT ME

I love to be active and go on adventures, and I usually can't resist a challenge. I always want to know how and why things work. I take pride in being a woman with a man's job.

I'm not currently hosting because I'm living on the road, but I will open up my couch when I settle down again!

PHILOSOPHY

If we never push ourselves, we never get stronger; adversity makes everything else so much better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and learn about other places and ways of life!

Interests

The list of things that don't interest me is shorter than the list of things that do. I really don't enjoy golf or smoking; I'm game for nearly anything else. Hobbies I spend the most time on include rollerskating/roller derby, riding a motorcycle, blogging, travel hacking, cooking, and drawing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed a radio tower on a hilltop and watched a thunderstorm roll in. (For safety reasons, I can't recommend this, but it was incredible.)

I'll make dinner, or teach you to juggle.
