ABOUT ME

So hard to paint a portrait in this little box. I'm a pretty curious person and try to live each day with sincere gratitude, doing my best to keep the mystery and magic of life alive.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

some hosting, some surfing. If you are into rock climbing and have a rope and quickdraws, I'm always down to go... so let me know and we'll plan a trip to the mountains!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

hosted a handful of folks in Fayetteville and Olympia. Surfed couches across the US on a recent road trip

兴趣

learning. loving. laughing. traveling. climbing trees. climbing rocks. meeting people. landscapes. maps. reading. painting and drawing. sewing. dreaming. cooking and good food. digging around in the dirt. music. communicating through images. being moved by experiences.

I enjoy reusing objects, especially for purposes they were never really intended for in the first place. I also like the game of seeing things as if I'm seeing them for the first time.

Climbing mountains. yoga. jumping in freezing waters then quickly back out. meditation. gazing at the night sky. riding my bike around town and across states...
