CURRENT MISSION

To meet people and share life with them.

ABOUT ME

I recently started a business doing shoreline restoration and wetland delineation (Tamarack Wetland Services). I love to travel and meet new people. I love learning about the new and old places. Lately, I have been learning about herbalism and mushrooms, and have gained so much knowledge through my pursuits! I love to know about what the earth is teaching us.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to think and read and refine my philosophy. It is evolving and I want to learn about your philosophy too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Most of the time, just offering a place to stay while I save up for another adventure!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted and surfed, around the world! I love meeting new people, traveling with them, just talking about life.

Interests

Anything outdoors - cross country skiing, canoeing, hiking, backpacking, biking. Traveling - almost anywhere. History, photography - my pictures are here https://www.flickr.com/photos/64000171@N03/sets/

If you come visit we can go paddling (if its not winter.) I have a few blogs out there about different adventures I have taken and my travels:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skied 3 Worldloppet marathons in Europe! (5 total Worldloppet races).

Swam with sea lions in the Galapagos, set foot on Antarctica (and saw thousands of penguins)!

I spent a summer working at an English speaking adventure camp in Taiwan. One of the best, though hardest things I've ever done! Ask me more.

Traveling in Europe, taking the train randomly to Milano, Italy.

Too many stories to count, and lots of pictures as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can all learn something from one another.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to talk about life and my travels.

If you stay with me, I can offer outdoor sports - I have a bike, canoe, kayak you can use. Also, if you are coming from the Cities and need a ride, let me know, as I might (if given warning) be able to drive you to and from.
