I work as a science teacher outdoors for children, and serving as a ranger in National Parks. I have so far worked at Mount Rainier, Denali, Glacier Bay, Pinnacles, and Yosemite National Parks. I love traveling and hiking in mountains. I travel to connect with ancestral spirits and wild spaces. Its been a long road and now I'm attuning my shamanic traditions from prior lineages of Europe and North America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I frequently travel in my life of exploration. As a light worker who is an educator for people and places in parks and outdoor schools, I am not the sort of stay in 5 star hotels. I enjoy being a part of the local's scene. I also enjoy the times when I can have guests stay with me in ranger cabins at National Parks, and delight on the unique local perspective I can give them that no other tourist can get.
