ABOUT ME

Hi! I have been filling out my profile at a pretty glacial pace, but I do intend to add more soon! (and have intended to add more soon for a year or so now)

I live around Boston and like meeting new people. I can probably host some folks at some point and have both surfed and hosted exactly one time.

I like to think I have figured out Boston a decent amount and would definitely grab a drink with you if you stayed with me, or at least try to point you in the right direction in your travels.

Interests

I like learning new things and figuring out how things work! I have been trying to learn Spanish the past few years with some success. I have also realized that the reason I like exploring cities (I grew up in rural Vermont) is because there is so much to wonder about!

• drinking
• cycling
• hiking
• skiing
• beaches

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So these are all very natural outdoorsy things to have on my list. In reality, despite growing up in rural VT, I really enjoy living in and exploring cities, so I should find an experience there to put on this list. Probably my habitat for humanity spring break trip to New Orleans would be way up on the list!

- Bicycle tour down the U.S. east coast! Boston to Myrtle Beach. Not only that, but a few years later, I hosted a guy who was riding his bike around the world. Talk about some amazing stories.

- White Water Rafting on the Penobscot River in Maine. Awesome day to (mostly) float down the river with sweet views of Mt. Katahdin and a bald eagle flyover. Great group of friends and even though the water was cold! I took a couple dips in.

- *Having exactly the right strategy to maximize my days skiing at Mont Tremblant in Canada. Amazing views from the top on a nice day and just a seriously sweet place to go.

- Hiking in the woods in Cahuita National Park in Costa Rica. I'm not sure why this was so much fun but I think the threatening clouds and light rain along with supposed danger from snakes (at the guidebooks say so), the howler monkeys and the fact that I was alone with few others in the park played a role.

* I have never skied in Europe or in the western part of the U.S. of A.
