PNW small-town native turned nomad.

If one were to ask what time era I would live in, if any, I would live in the NOW! I enjoy the opportunities I have and will have, the people I've met and befriended, and the places I explore.

One of my favorite feelings is the awe when atop a mountain with blankets of clouds covering all but the tops of the mountains.

Highlights this year:
-Living and working as a zipline guide in Oahu this past summer
-Working with a team if photographers on a trip to the Philippines with Lightify Creative
-Working with companies like He>i, Alpine Modern, Typical Magazine, & Echo&Atlas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I participate in Couchsurfing because I desire to meet people in the places I explore in an authentic way. I tend to engage as a local rather than as a tourist.
