hiya - i'm an avid adventurer who loves to be in the ocean or woods, to sing, to dance and do cartwheels, to have philosophical conversations, watch films, play instruments and collaborate with others on musical projects, read novels, write stories, and about a gazillion other things.

i love to meet new people when traveling and join unexpected adventures spontaneously. i often travel alone so that this is more likely to happen.

as a guest, i am clean and reliable and enjoy a mix of hanging out with my host(s) if they want to, and also doing my own thing. i'd love to meet you and learn about your life and town and such!
