Hello, I'm a student at CU, studying Physical Therapy and a recent transplant to Colorado. I've traveled to Brazil, Argentina, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Canada, Spain, France, Italy, Indonesia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Japan. When I travel, I prefer to find volunteer opportunities or work exchanges so I can become better immersed in the local culture and form deeper connections with locals and fellow travelers. As a full time student, the majority of my traveling will take place in the US which I am really excited to explore more, especially in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona. If you live in these areas and have some suggestions for cool adventures, I'd love to hear them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This winter, I will be volunteering as an adaptive ski instructor for individuals with special needs at Breckenridge, Keystone, and Copper Mountain. In order to volunteer more, I'd like to find a friend that lives in summit county who would be willing to host me and my small cattle dog mix Joey, so that I can avoid driving back and forth from Denver and paying for a dog sitter on the weekends. Joey is super well-trained, he rarely barks unless he's outside chasing squirrels, is crate-trained for when nobody is home, and gets along with all people and animals. As for me, I'm an easy-going individual that likes to be around people and go on adventures. I'd be happy to cook dinners in exchange for the housing.
