ABOUT ME

Since graduating college all I wanted to do was travel. I would work for a year, travel for a few months, work again, travel again. I did this for the past 5 years, ending with a job working as an observer on a scallop fishing boat in Alaska. Now I have reached the time in my life where I want to stay in my hometown and put down roots. I have my family and friends here, I work at a farm where I get delicious vegetables, I enjoy getting to know everything about my town and my city. I would like to host people and share my knowledge of the area with visitors!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't leave fun to find fun
