Currently living out the mountain dream in Tahoe and after years of wandering and trying on new homes, meeting new folks, and exploring diverse landscapes. I wandered this way after a year of exploring New Zealand by bicycle and unexpectedly falling in love with snowy peaks. I'm always game to try something new and look forward to meeting new friends and sharing my home with them.

I grew up in both New Hampshire and San Diego, leaving home at 18 and its been on the road since then. Received my Bachelors from UC Santa Cruz amongst the redwoods, as well as a Massage Therapy License. From there toured across the US on bicycle, from Portland OR along the northern states to New Hampshire. Then found myself living on a Ojibwe reservation in Northern Minnesota for a season, raising animals and growing food, picking berries and skinning dear. Then back to California to live on a vineyard just north of San Francisco for a year, eventually done with the settled life, I packed it all onto my bicycle and flew to New Zealand for a year. Now I'm settling into Lake Tahoe, loving both the summer and winter and the great people attracted here.
