CURRENT MISSION

I recognize how lucky I am, being able to travel and see the world, and as thanks I try to live as well as I can and learn as much as I can. I am independent and enjoy time on my own, but I love good company maybe more than anything else in the world. Every new thing I experience gives me a great idea for a new story, but I never know how they should end - endings seem so unnatural to me, because in life things never really end, just change.

Interests

I write, read, climb, hike, knit, drink good beer, cook, play guitar (I'm not excellent, but always up for a jam session!).

I love human biology, learning about our world, hearing other people's perspectives and opinions on issues and changing my mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was at the births of both of my brothers. Human bodies are miraculous.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach anyone I host or who hosts me to knit! If I come to visit in the spring or summer (or if you ask me to) I would be happy to bring a slackline and teach you how to do that!
