Sobre mí

CURRENT MISSION

"The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.” John Muir

ABOUT ME

I spend quite a bit of my time outdoors, or thinking about being outside. Alaska is my one true love and I am pretty invested in getting to know as many of her mountains, rivers and trails as I can. Aside from that, I like to eat sweet treats in the form of muffins and Americanos with probably what a reasonable person would say is too much sugar. I would like to read more, but grad school has put that on hold. Jumping in puddles is a favorite past time.

PHILOSOPHY

"There's a little live and let live in you. A little bit of wander. Unchanged. Unknown. Yet somehow, larger than life. It's the child part. The wild part. The part that keeps us on our toes."

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I once let my brother crash on my couch and he wouldn't stop talking about CS. I figured it must be something great for him to rave about it, so I thought I'd give it a go. Aside from that I am pretty much a newbie here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I like couches and futons, but I have never surfed.

Intereses

Hiking, skiing, climbing, fishing, running, and drinking coffee make me the happiest. Whiskey drinks are nice too.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Once upon a time when I was working trail crew for the State Park in Anchorage, I was hiking materials into a site with two of my crewmates. At that point in the season the lupines and fireweed had come to the end of their summer stay, their petals had wilted and fallen onto the trail. Their bittersweet goodbye meant the berries were nice, ripe and ready for eating. Naturally, our bellies were full with them and our pants were all stained from blueberry indulgence. We were singing, yelping and having the time of our lives. The amount of noise being made by myself and the two was enough to scare off a bear the size of a mammoth. Which is why I was so surprised when at just about mid day, as we came around the side of a hill, I found myself staring into the eyes of a timber wolf. Now it would be easy to say it was someone's dog. It would be easy to say I didn't actually see it, given the fact that the others were too distracted with our gear that they did not see it. But I saw it and it was huge, pensive, wonderful. And in the blink of an eye, the miraculous and splendid animal was gone.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I like to think I am a beginner at a lot of things. I just started climbing a few summers ago, cross country skiing last winter and downhill skiing this winter. I plan to run a half marathon in the next 7 months. I am not great at these activities by any means, and I was pretty bad for a while there. But with time I have learned how to fall less, find the natural movement of these motions and pick up speed. So if you are the kind of person who sets their mind to something, and does it, there's a lot we can learn from one another.
