I am from Oregon originally, but have lived most recently in Maine, Utah, Alaska, and Montana working seasonally as a Park Ranger for the National Park Service.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to couchsurfing, but I have couch surfed informally throughout my travels and I would love to return the favor once I am settled and have a couch again.

Interests

I love biking and recently completed a long distance bike tour across the southern United States from Saint Augustine, Florida to Del Rio, Texas.

I studied geography and French in school. I am always excited to explore and learn about new places.
