Interests

I love everything active outdoors, whether it be hiking, biking or kayaking. I grew up in a place surrounded by nature and it has had a profound impact on the rest of my life. I also enjoy gardening, photography, aviation, geopolitics, meeting new people and hanging with friends, trying new restaurants, cooking and eating in general, site seeing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Been alone in the wild within 3 feet (1 m) of a wolf.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to bake bagels from scratch, plant/animal identification. I love showing people around and like hearing the stories and backgrounds for other travelers.

What I Can Share with Hosts
