I am 31 and live in Northwest Colorado with my two dogs. I just bought a house this year, so am open to hosting if there are any CSer who travel this way. Right now I work a lot, running a non profit for substance abuse prevention for youth. I have been sober for over a year, and following a spiritual path. I love yoga, gardening, playing with dogs, watching movies, listening to music, paddle boarding, hiking and camping.

The area I live is very rural, making it harder to meet different kinds of people. So consider this the beacon for attracting cultured and artistic people to my home (but seriously, have thats always what my fortune cookie says.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To open up the possibility that cool people have a place to crash in my little hometown here! And to find creative ways to travel affordably while also getting to actually connect with people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love rom coms! And sitcoms on Netflix or Hulu. Movies are pretty good, but I love listening to music too. Any and all kinds.

I will read just about anything too. But I love books about spirituality, poetry, non-fiction, social psychology books, self help books, Dear Sugar, and I like reading out loud or being read out loud to if that’s something guests would be in to!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some amazing experiences; sky diving, graduating from college (first one in my fam!) living in a van down by the river, moving to Oregon on a whim, writing a book of poetry, adopting rescue dogs, learning how to practice yoga, getting sober, yup!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning and sharing things about cooking, sustainability, ecoprenuership, yoga, and being healthy. I can share tips and tricks for massage and body work.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have been a massage therapist since 2008, so would be happy to trade for massage and bodywork. I also love to cook for people, and they seem to enjoy it! I am a super tidy person, so can help with organizing or cleaning, and will definitely leave a space in good shape.

I also love deeper conversations, learning about people’s lives, talking about spirituality, contemplating the meaning of life, etc.
