CURRENT MISSION

Minimize my footprint and maximize my imprint!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and talk to people from different cultures and backrounds. I love the outdoors and the mountains. I also love to show people new things such as great new hikes. I am currently working on our ranch in the mountains trying to become as sustainable as possible

PHILOSOPHY

I live every moment for happiness. I am a hedonist and I am not ashamed. I do what makes me happy. Of course making others happy is another top priority of mine so don't worry. I care about love for myself the earth, and other people. I think it is important to take everything with an open mind and try as hard as possible to go with the flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started using CS while I lived in Europe. I made some really good friends where I was living in Amsterdam through the Friday night meetups and met some really great hosts in the many countries I traveled. I have hosted many people and I even picked up a CouchSurfing dog! Unfortunatly my last few living situations have been far removed from cities and was unable to host. I would love to meet up with people coming through the San Luis Valley but as I live at a hotel and hot springs resort hosting conflicts with my buissness
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I initially really got into the Couchsurfing meetup in Amsterdam and met some of my best Amsterdam friends through couchsurfing. I then traveled through Europe and stayed on couches in Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic. I have hosted over 50 CSers. I even got my dog through Couchsurfing.

Interests

Outdoor anything! I love the mountains, snowboarding, hiking, biking, camping, canoeing, rafting, and tubing!. I love studying philosophy, psychology, sexuality and gender. I am a nerd. I like disscusing our own personal philosophies. Farming, sustainability and talking about the future!
