About Me

I love nature, outdoors, free and simple living.
I seek to be present and appreciate the little things. I love sunrises, mountains, cold beer, campfires and whiskey.

I want to learn as much as I can about the places where my wandering finds me, to connect with people in a meaningful way, and to contribute to protecting this earth.

“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life. ”
- John Burroughs

Interests

I spend most of my spare time hiking and trail running. I love the freedom of the outdoors, and learning more about the wilderness. I am hungry for new experiences, to learn new skills and to spend more time in beautiful places. Living and learning :)

I also love a good live gig or outdoor dance party.

Sunrises, sunsets, full moons, swimming au natural, there are amazing moments in everyday life, you just have to keep your eyes open :)

My first time hiking up a glacier in the pre-dawn stillness, the crisp coolness in the air, the icy crunch underfoot.
