Space enthusiast, outdoors lover, and big fan of life. Trying my best to see new places and meet new people. I grew up in Albuquerque, NM which has a rich history of Spanish and Native American culture, then moved up to Boulder, CO for school where I learned what it means to get lost in the mountains on a backcountry trip and sleep outside in the snow - love it.

Favorite pizza: Green chile and ham
Coolest constellation: Orion (although I'm a Gemini)
Favorite quote: "Viele kleine Leute, die in vielen kleinen Orten viele kleine Dinge tun, verändern können Gesicht der Welt." (Many small people, in many small places, doing many small things, can alter the face of the world). From Graffiti on the Berlin Wall when it was being torn down.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a community with some awesome people from amazing places. The feel of hosting someone and showing them your area is intrinsically rewarding, and being able to go somewhere else and have someone else return the favor is incredible.

Flown in microgravity for a combined 15 minutes, sadly, just in a plane - not in space.

Ever wonder how many people are in space right now?
