Generally trying to do outdoorsy things or travel when I have stints of time off.

2019 was a year I threw my hands in the air and quit my full time job as a physiotherapist and have since been hodge podging my life together with part time work. We don't get much time off as Americans, so I took things into my own hands so I was more in control of my vacation days. Financially it's less secure, but damn, it's been a positive change in every other regard.

I find anything with more than 4 legs to be rather unsettling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For added adventure and to meet great people along the way!
Everyone has something to teach and I have so much to learn.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rafted the Grand Canyon in the winter with 15 other people of which I knew 2. No one knew everyone and some knew no one. A 29 day gamble that worked out surprisingly well.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach respect. Learn appreciation. Share passion.

Conversation over beverages and food. Good manners.
