Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To have lots of adventure, and bring people together all over the world doing it.
ABOUT ME
I would say the qualities I am the most proud of are being adventurous, daring and outgoing. I love meeting new people and doing lots of fun things outdoors. My friends might say I do things impulsively, but it usually turns out to be a blast. I love adrenaline rushes.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is beautiful! Don't be led by fear, but go out and create a life that is exciting, generous and loving to all.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I traveled to Europe with three of my college buddies in Summer 2011. We couchsurfed in Munich, Germany. The four of us stayed with our new friend Felix for a total of four days. He showed us around Munich in a way only a local can! It was really great. As soon as I am able, I am going to open up my home to travelers, like Felix did for me!
Interests
I am very active, so I can usually be found running, hiking, biking or playing on swings. Colorado has a lot of amazing things to do outside, so I am pretty easily kept busy. If I'm not doing that, then I am probably reading, because I love books!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hard question! One is when I visited Victoria Falls when I was fifteen. We climbed down to the "boiling point," at the very bottom of the falls. It was absolutely breathtaking. We had to walk down these ridiculously steep stairs and literally swing on a hanging branch to get to the other side of a creek, and then climb through a huge pile of boulders to get there. I just sat there on the rocks amazed at the towering waterfalls surrounding me. the sunlight mixed with the water made rainbows.
The other was the first time I traveled on my own! Right after my freshman year of college, my roomies and I went to visit Europe. The whole trip was so fun, but it was such an adventure when they left and I got to stay in Rome for three more days. It was just me, Rick Steves (my guide book) and a map. I made a lot of new friends and just had fun wandering around Rome with absolutely no agenda.
