New traveler here! I'm on couchsurfing to visit new places, meet people, and make stories. Nature and people are important to me. I'm big on visiting beautiful places, and playing in them. Find me hiking, camping, rock climbing, exploring, kayaking, mountain biking, joining fellow travelers in adventures, playing & enjoying music, and generally being outside.

For my job, I guide kids and adults on trips in nature. I say it because it's a big part of my life :). Looking forward to meeting people of different cultures and celebrating the differences that make life interesting.

I also enjoy reading, and sharing music. I enjoy eating a vegan diet, but I'm flexible too :)
