Pronouns: he/him or they/them

I’m a transguy working for a nonprofit dedicated to building queer community through the outdoors. I like to experience nature in ways that are human-powered and dog-friendly. I sometimes travel with my 4 year old pit/border collie mix, Fern - she likes wiggling and giving kisses.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for a place to crash while traveling for work.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2014.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic map and compass skills, leave no trace backcountry ethics, and safe practices for wilderness travel.

I can share word puzzles and my favorite breathing exercises.

I’m interested in learning to play new/different instruments (or just listen to you play yours). Also, I’m always happy to learn new riddles!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can take care of your kids and/or your pets, proofread/edit your writing, and make a real fancy box of gf macaroni.
