I have lived in South Korea for a year, hiked all 46 Adirondack high peaks, backpacked in Alaska, the Rockies, and the UK, and driven across the country and back on an epic solo road trip.

Happy to share about my adventures & interests, and to learn about yours!

Among other things, I love literature/the humanities in general, dogs, mountains, and stand-up comedy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make traveling more accessible/affordable to both myself and others.
Shouldn't cost someone an arm and a leg to see the world - and it doesn't have to!
