ABOUT ME

I'm an active fun loving Beach kid, currently exploring the West Coast for the first time in my life! I left my home in May to explore the country and find adventure and inspiration, 10,000 miles later here I am in Olympia WA. I'm getting ready to begin my long journey home and look forward to all that is ahead of me. What can I say? I love life! I love to write stories, songs, jokes, whatever seems clever at the time. Camping and hiking are the best ways to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others with love, respect, and always be honest. Make peoples lives better for having been a part of them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been staying with family and friends throughout the country, but I am looking at a lot of land to travel where I don't yet know anyone, I'm hoping couch surfing will allow me to meet some new friends along the way who love art and nature as much as I do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking teenagers hiking on the Appalachian Trail via a summer camp is one of the most gratifying things I have ever done. Teaching them to work with nature and the world, it emphasized the value of altruistic motivation within me. I want to help people see the world as the gift that it is.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything I can learn! Like the soil soaking up the sun. I bring stories and philosophies on hand at all times, always dying to hear and share good stories. More songs than I know what to do with, but don't expect many covers.
