CURRENT MISSION

bake bread on every continent!

ABOUT ME

I was born and grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, exploring the outdoors first with my family and now with friends. I love to ski and to hike and ride my bicycle and work part of the year as a geologist or fisherman. I am an open, curious person, but sometimes reserved.

PHILOSOPHY

keepin' that PMA. I believe in gentleness both with ourselves and others but also boldly taking on uncomfortable situations with honesty and compassion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

couchsurfed in argentina and the lower 48, hosted in anchorage

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once upon a time the house i lived in hosted many a couchsurfer and i gained a lot (including roommates and good friends) from the experience. I believe couchsurfing is a great way to travel, and a great way to meet new people and learn about other places when traveling is not an option.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic bicycle mechanics, how to make bread, homebrewing basics. I would love to learn more about growing food, rock climbing, mycology, and playing the banjo. I am interested in sharing knowledge and adventures!
