CURRENT MISSION

Sooner rather than later.

ABOUT ME

Do you ever wish you could hire a famous writer to write a portrait of you? I'd much rather that than have a famous artist paint me. Here is a basic attempt at describing myself: I'm a creative, inquisitive, and political type, I laugh a lot, have no allergies or appendix, would pick knowing every language as my superpower, and would always like to be more active in seeking adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Leave this world having made it a more beautiful place than it was when you found it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently moved from Chicago, IL to Grand Junction, CO for a job. I had never been to Colorado before. Now that I live in this incredible landscape I'm dying to take some road trips, and would love to meet cool people in the process.

I joined Couchsurfing back when I was in college, studying abroad and moving around. I have couchsurfed twice, in France and Oregon, and both times were wonderful experiences! I look forward to doing it more often.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked into and out of Yosemite in summer 2013 when there were a bunch of forest fires going on. I had never done anything like that before and it directed me toward newfound strength.
