About Me

I am grateful and proud to call Crested Butte, Colorado my home. It is a very special and unique little ski town that is nestled in the heart of the Continental Divide in some of the most beautiful wilderness Colorado has to offer. This community is tight-knit, colorful, creative and very festive... come stay with my sister, her boyfriend, and I in our cute little pirate-ship of a home...we have a guest loft. We love to cook home-made organic veggie meals but are not strict veggie-heads, we're laid back and openminded, openhearteed people. Vinotok is one of our favorite home-grown festivals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am coming into an era of my life in which I have a great interest in traveling. I have been making international friends and would like to grow my network of friends and traveling buddies.

Interests

I love to draw, paint, collage and create stop-motion animations. I love to do yoga, hike, camp, ski/snowboard and adventure in general.
I love to see live music and dance and participate in merry-making.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a little bit of a fantasy/sci-fi nerd and have an active imagination. I have a buddhist slanting life philosophy, and enjoy documentaries. I also love fantasy samurai movies, like Ang Bak, Shinobi, Crouching
Tiger Hidden Dragon etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My family is pretty amazing to me, as well as my talented friends. I don't want to toot my own horn, but I think that my BFA stop-motion project was one of the most unique projects I have ever worked on.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach visitors about the charming festivals we have here in Crested Butte as well as show them around the ski hill. In the Summer, there's lots of wonderful hiking, and in the winter, there's cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and back country skiing ( if you have the gear). Gear can be rented around town.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live with my lovely sister and her boyfriend, so I have to pass all guests by them first. But we are fun hosts with a cozy little cabin in the heart of Crested Butte. As long as I'm not working, I am happy to give a little tour.
