I am from Albuquerque New Mexico and have grown up with an extreme passion for the outdoors. Some of my favorite outdoor activities are skiing, backpacking, camping, rafting and rock climbing. I have travelled quite a bit in Europe over the past years and cannot wait to go back this winter to ski in the Alps and visit the homeland of skiing. I am studying Latin American Studies at the University of New Mexico and am about a year away from getting my Bachelors Degree.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend Wyatt and I are planning a trip to Northern Italy, Switzerland and France to ski in the Alps and Dolomites. We are both experienced skiers and can't wait to see what the Alps have to offer. I am hoping to couchsurf because it offers a different perspective on the places I am going and the culture that comes with them. I want to meet locals who know of great places to go and things to do.
