I lived in Seattle most recently and I've traveled all over the US and spent some time in Vietnam and Guatemala! I love books and writing and am always excited to meet new people and learn different languages/cultures. I like to get away from the city into the mountains for backpacking, camping, fishing, and mountaineering (summited Mt. Rainer last year!) I'm pretty active and athletic and like to run and play most sports. Love a good conversation and social gatherings and exploring a new city by bike or on foot.

I pride myself in being level-headed and respectful of other people and spaces and frequently open my home to traveling friends and family :) I am clean and considerate of others' time and wishes.
