Description

Hello! I have been a seasonal wildland firefighter for the Park and Forest Service for many years. I live in a van I converted with my boyfriend who works in parks with me as a ranger or tour guide. We love to explore, travel, meet new people, experience new cultures, and learn about history! We enjoy long hikes, climbing mountains, boating, paddling, and visiting new places. I love art of all kinds including painting, macrame, video editing, and digital art. I also love cooking, baking, sprouting, and brewing kombucha. Although we happily live in a van for now, we hope to one day live on a sailboat!
