CURRENT MISSION: Enjoying the California Sun!
ABOUT ME: I grew up in a little fishing town in Alaska. That's still the best home base I've got, returning every summer for work (commercial fishing - a profession I absolutely love!), and in the meantime I travel or plant myself here or there for a bit. Right now I'm spending a few months in Chico, California, a great little town to visit. I have a nice, little place on the edge of town, not too far away from anything and close to hiking trails.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Always the best way to travel! Great to meet locals and see the inside perspective of a place they can share. The people I've met through surfing or hosting have been amazing; I've had so many wonderful experiences through CS that I could have never discovered without it.

Interests

Favorite activity in the world: PING-PONG (table tennis)!!! I like doing anything outdoors: hiking, exploring, swimming, playing with fires, etc. I love playing ultimate frisbee or just tossing a disc around, I used to play for my university team and I can never get enough! Also, cooking with hosts or surfers is always fun because then I can discover new tastes and how to make them! Big fan of board games, interesting conversations, and every now and then a night out on the town is always fun too!
