I love experiencing new cultures and observing unique traditions. I like getting out and exploring, and can spend numerous hours just walking around - However, I also like to relax and enjoy a good book to study.

I also love to hike and camp. Being out in nature is a part of who I am, so I like to get out into the wilderness whenever I can!

Also, I love hitting festivals around Alaska and the world. You really get to meet interesting people when you throw yourself into new atmospheres with interesting people!

PHILOSOPHY

Pacifism and Karma are two things that I try to incorporate into my philosophy. I never want to be the reason someone has a bad day, so I try my best to cause no negative vibrations in the air. I also value sincerity and honesty, and I appreciate people who aren't afraid to share their opinions.

Oh yeah, and I'm a lover of the environment. I care a lot about sustainable practices and ethical use of the land. I'm working towards being an academic environmental philosopher, so this is at the core of my being.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Due to my living condition, I'm unable to host anyone for the time being. I am willing to meet visitors to give a bit of a tour, whether it be for hiking or just getting a beer. Just drop an email and we'll see what we can do!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to Macedonia and Albania to visit family and this was an amazing life changer for me. Since then, I have always wanted to break through my bubble and experience the rest of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I myself still have a lot to learn. My knowledge of philosophy and literature is currently my strongest attribute (even this still has much growing left to do), so I'm afraid I don't have any *special* skills that make me more unique than others, but I can be a handy individual when needed.
