CURRENT MISSION: Getting lost and finding something new

ABOUT ME: I fancy myself a decent photographer and writer, an undedicated musician and soccer player, an enthusiastic teacher and relatively fearless explorer.

I love traveling, I hate leaving my two dogs. I'm a night owl but always pleasantly surprised by sunrises.

PHILOSOPHY: Be brave and be kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING: Wandering and hosting wanderers

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE: I have only unofficially couch surfed thus far, mostly in East Africa, Madagascar and the US. I have met great people couchsurfing in South and Central America.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran from an erupting volcano in Indonesia (Stupid or amazing? Unsure)
Watched said erupting volcano blaze through the night and played in waters illuminated by bioluminescent phytoplankton
Howled to wolves in the North Woods
Built a greenhouse, started forest fires and cut down trees (for the National Park Service)
