I am here for Friends

About Me

hmmmm. I like to think of myself as being free spirited, fun and compassionate. Looooove to travel, it has become a bit of a lifestyle. After four years of teaching psychology in Wyoming, I spent a couple of years wanderining around the globe. I'm currently working as a wilderness kayak guide in Alaska. Oh yeah... I am a bad speller! ;) ..

My Interests

I try to live passionately and spontaneously. I love the mountains, road tripping with no real destination, Kayaking, backcountry snowboarding, tele-skiing, hitchhiking, scuba diving, listening to music, and going to live shows, camping, travelling, firedancing, moonlight missions, hanging w. friends and family.
