Living out of my van and traveling full time since June 2019. I am an experienced pet sitter and dog walker. I am rainbow family and love to connect with other rainbow family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet cool local people when I am in a new area, and a place to stay in inclement weather doesn't sound terrible either. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2019 I thru-hiked the Superior Hiking Trail. 310 miles in 29 days. Having never been backpacking a day in my life, I figured it out as I went along. I am now a backpacking junkie!

Teach, Learn, Share

Dogs. I love meeting new dogs just as much as (maybe more than) meeting new people. I have had the pleasure of getting to know so many dogs under so many different conditions, and while I do not consider myself a dog trainer, I am very well versed on animal behavior and body language. At the risk of sounding crazy, I have a knack for understanding what some dogs need and want and have helped clients understand their own dogs better. Let me talk with your dog!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook for you. Since 2014 I volunteer a few times a year with a free food community kitchen which has taught me how to throw together yummy meals with limited ingredients. I am an enthusiastic dumpster diver! It's not gross I promise.
