ABOUT ME

University of Colorado, Boulder; Applied Mathematics

I really am always trying to constantly better myself as a human being and learn and appreciate every experience that comes my way. I believe that knowledge is power and I want to use the education I learn in school and life to benefit myself and others. My dad and mom always encouraged the idea of traveling the world at a young age-I have been to 6 of the 7 continents either climbing or doing sustainable service work in impoverished countries. I am a very outdoorsy person, I am really into high altitude mountaineering, technical climbing, cycling, surfing, and camping, I also love having a good time and going out with friends and of course spontaneous little adventures! I get along with most everyone and always open to meeting cool, new people!

PHILOSOPHY

Quit hanging on to the handrails . . . Let go. Surrender. Go for the ride of your life. Do it every day.-Melody Beattie

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To simply put it, I treat other's the way I want to be treated! I think the whole concept of Couchsurfing is really neat, getting to meet people all over the States, let alone the world, is super cool! Some of my closest friends whom I've met where when I was traveling or vice versa
