Originally from Nebraska, but I currently live in Denver, CO. I recently took a leap of faith and quit my corporate job to pursue a life of travel and photography. I will always value an authentic experience spent alongside amazing people vs. 5 star hotel living. I can't wait to start this life changing journey and am excited to meet some amazing people along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be setting out on my most epic adventure yet starting at the end of January. Countless countries with what I consider to contain countless opportunities to meet people from around the world. Hopefully I leave with a new outlook and can in return, influence others on my journey.

This will be my first experience with Couch Surfing, but I feel it is important to mention that I am in no way looking to date or "hook up." I simply want to meet new people and make long-lasting friendships :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a bike tour of the back country of Ubud, Bali. While on the route, I stopped at a local school where I was invited to sit in on class and teach a little English. Later, my guide invited me to his home where his family created a beautiful meal that we were all able to share together. No matter the culture and language gap, it was the most amazing experience to be so welcomed and it's a feeling I'll never forget.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to host when I get back from my travels. I can provide friendly conversation, positive energy, warm smiles, recommendation on things to do in the area, stories from my travels and I'd love to show people around, schedule permitting.
