Overview
About Me
Currently I'm a student at Western State Colorado University in Gunnison, Colorado. I moved out here after working a season at Vail where I fell in love with the mountains and colorado skiing. This winter hasn't been great but I definitely can't complain because the fact that its always sunny makes life so much better. As for school Im undecided but Im thinking about majoring in film and possibly business. In the past few years Ive gotten really into making films and even started a small business with my brother making films for local businesses. Other than film, I like to stay in shape and am training to do a few triathlons this summer.
** I know I'm not verified but I currently cannot afford it.. As soon as I can I will definitely do it!!**
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I absolutely love to travel-- every aspect of it-- including hanging in airports and taking long train rides. I will be honest, I haven't actually used CS yet but I love the idea and know I will definitely use it sooner or later.
CURRENTLY: I plan to travel to Vancouver in mid- March for spring break with a few friends and know I will definitely need places to stay on way to and from Vancouver. I am grateful to anyone who opens their doors!
Interests
Like I said before Im getting into film and photography (even though I don't even own a camera).. I love the creative aspect of filmmaking and being able to express emotion with the right picture and sound.
I also have been getting into races of all sorts.. Last year I did my first Spartan Race in Squaw valley and absolutely loved it! It was torture but at the end you feel incredible.. definitely want to do another one soon. I also have recently done my first triathlon which was also a lot of fun.

Music, Movies, and Books
Huge Mumford & Sons fan.. I really like a lot of different music though.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Completed a huge mountain bike trail in South Lake Tahoe, CA. It was super cool because a close friend had recommended I do this program he did through AmeriCorps and so I did the same program and ended up working on the same trail that he had began working during his time.
