About Me

Music, environmental & social justice, web, and humanitarian aide. Finally settled.

Studied in Edinburgh, Scotland, moved to Portland, OR, lived in Hanoi, Vietnam, and Denali, AK, now living in Skagway, AK.

I'm vegetarian, run, and do yoga. I program computers to tell them what to do, and try to minimize the time where they dictate what I do. I love hiking and being outside and feel blessed to be living in such a beautiful part of the world. I live with Cassie - who shares a lot of my interests except for the computers bit. She's more of a hands-on crafter and maker of cute things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing.

We don't do last minute requests. Please give us at least a week to check my e-mail. If you contact me on the day before your visit it's very likely that I will not read or actively ignore your request until the date it passed. It kind of stresses me out, and stress is not what I'm looking for here.

If you would like to stay with us please let me know about your favorite food, and where you last ate it. Cooking is hugely important to us and we love learning about people's food experiences. Bonus points if it's vegetarian or vegan.
