One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bike toured 1000 miles from Seattle to sanfranscico

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach hoop dance and have some skills in bike maintenance. Long-time WWOOF volunteer and gardener ask me about anything about gardening. I was a lifeguard/swim-instructor for roughly a decade, so if you need a swim lesson or pointers I can do that too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversationalist, epic "attempts" at cooking but much better baking. Lots of stories of bike touring the coast and Alaska. Am insiders take on traveling in Alaska where to go, what to see, where to stay etc. photography tips from an award winning Amateur photographer
