I love photography and the outdoors. I dabble in many hobbies, such as oil painting, writing, figure skating, gardening, and trail running. My typical income is from working in habitat restoration. But in the off-season I've worked in greenhouse management, nannying, event serving, photography, and as a personal assistant. I'm interested most in history, geography, photography, and nature filmmaking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m a small budget traveler who wants to experience life as a local wherever I go. I can think of no greater life than one spent building diverse connections and friendships. Collecting stories to share one day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At summer camp when I was 17 I walked a 30 foot tight rope 15 foot in the air and found out after that the person belaying me was not actually hooked to me or aware that he was meant to be.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can probably help your house plants or garden and offer your pets my unconditional love, I can read you my poetry and listen to your writing or stories, or help cook vegan food, if you have young kids I can play with them too and read them books.
