Hello! My name's Cori and I'm looking to meet friends in my new hometown of Denver, CO. I was lucky enough to take off on an 8-month road trip across the United States last year and met some great people through CSing, and would love to stay connected to the community. Unfortunately, I don’t have the option to host at the moment, but would love to hang out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't want to wait until I'm retired to travel the world, and since I work in the non-profit sector I have to figure out how do it cheap!

I want to experience the cities I visit as if I was a local, and what better way do to so than by staying with one??

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I presented my thesis research at an international academic conference in Sydney, Australia.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can show you how to make my grandma’s Sicilian Christmas cookies.

Learn: I'd love to learn how to cook, ballroom dance, speak a second language (I've taken classes in ASL and Spanish, but only remember one off words and an occasional phrase), play the guitar, drive a stick shift, and so many more...

Share: I'm a very competitive gin rummy player. Let's play a hand together! If you're not into cards I'm always up for a good conversation about music, movies, philosophy, etc.
