Hello! My name is Colin, I'm a healthcare analyst 40 hours a week, the rest of the time I'm just a film-loving, book devouring guy trying to stay active and engaged in his community. I'm outdoorsy - I like to run, bike, hike, camp and travel the world. I frequently look to find places with mountainous landscapes. And, as mentioned above, I'm very much the cinephile :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
