I love the outdoors, and I actively hike, rock climb, and backpack. I play guitar and ukelele, although my talent really shines at karaoke night. Eating and cooking are some of my favorite things to do, and I'm currently working on my bread baking skills. Most of my time is spent out and about, but I also take the time to relax every once in a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met some amazing people while couchsurfing, and the community aspect is inspiring. It's always a great way to learn more about different lifestyles and backgrounds, and I find it helps me expand my worldview in the same way as traveling does!

Music, Movies, and Books

So much music. My favorite bands are constantly changing, but right now I'm listening to a lot of Dirty Projectors, the Shins, Fleet Foxes, Margot and the Nuclear So and So's, Kendrick Lamar, First Aid Kit, Dr. Dog, and I'm always on the lookout for new music.

My favorite authors are Kurt Vonnegut, Terry Pratchett, and Iain M. Banks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a lot of adventuring through California and other parts of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to play a little guitar, I know a bit about manufacturing processes, I know how to make jewelry through metalcasting and flameworking, I'm reading as many books as I can, and I'm always working on becoming a better person. Ask me about space and life!
