Connecting with people, trying new experiences, having good conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet cool people in cool places! I love the intentionality behind Couchsurfing.

Interests

I have so many different interests that I can't list them all here! My interests vary from the arts (photography, film, music, reading, writing, theatre), the environment (national parks, sustainability), sports and exercise (biking, hiking, yoga, dance), to crafting (wood working, metalsmithing, journaling/scrap booking, cooking). I love working with my hands and doing anything that requires delayed gratification.
