I love to travel, not only abroad but also around the U.S. I have visited over 23 countries and 30 states in the U.S. I work at New Mexico State University in International Education and also teach ESL part time in the evening. I lead a super busy life, and enjoy living, growing and inspiring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In one year I have hiked (or driven up) 20 High Points in the U.S. I hope to hit 10 more in my second year. My goal is to hit all 50 in a 3-4 year period. Hotels/hostels and even airbnb can get expensive for all of these highpoints so I am hoping to meet some great people who are willing to host me for a night who live near the high point in their state. Once I get my schedule figured out I may be willing to host a few weekend travelers as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Mumford and Sons, Avett Brothers, Jason Isbell, Paulo Nutini and Ryan Adams to name a few artists. I like independent films and comedies for movies. Most recent books have been all non-fiction outdoorsy types.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked the Lares Trek to Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu this past December.
