Hello Couchsurfing community! I grew up and went to college in Colorado USA but have now been traveling and living in Hokkaido Japan for the past 4 years. I manage a small guesthouse in Hokkaido and am a professional backcountry skiing guide. In college I majored International Affairs, with a minor in Geography and received a certificate in South Asian Languages and Civilizations. I studied Hindi for three years at Uni and have been to India and Nepal for both leisure and work. I consider my self very open minded and friendly. My main intention with traveling is to see the world and to make meaningful friendships with others! And to eat delicious food!
