Hey, my name is Dane Leininger. I am currently studying Physical Therapy Assistant program at Pueblo Community College and will graduate this May with my PTA license, Stoked! I will be turning 30 in a few days 3-13. I have a growing interest in Photography and Videography and really want to visit new places and meet awesome locals and capture awesome photos. I’m interested in landscape photography, street photography, adventure photography, hiking, and good company. Some things that I enjoy doing are CrossFit, Cycling, Exploring and Learning about the history of new places, Hiking, Golfing (disc and regular). I am excited to try traveling wit the Couchsurfing platform, and meet like minded people and building friendships.

Music, Movies, and Books

Somewhat of a film buff, I love Tarantino, Wes Anderson, the Coen Brothers, Stanley Kubrick to name some of the classics. I always watch the Oscar winners as well as tv shows like Game of Thrones, super excited for April 14! Some authors that I like are Thoreau, Camus, Salinger, Steinbeck, and Edward Abbey. As far as music I really like a huge variety from Bob Dylan to Eminem.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Right now I am working to complete my 3rd clinical rotation for my PTA program, I am working within the school district. I am getting to work with kids with special needs and it has been an amazing experience. I feel like I can really make a difference in these kiddos future! 😁

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a certified L1 CrossFit trainer and full time Physical Therapy student. If you have any injury or personal training questions I could probably help you out. I’m relatively new to photography and Lightroom/Photoshop but could learn from or teach you depending on your level. I am currently learning to work with ND filters and polarizers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very personable, and get along with everyone. I am working on building a Photography Portfolio, so if you want or need any portraits, headshots, group photos, or just some instagram bangers, I can shoot edit and email you the full resolution files free of charge. A win win 📷
