25 years old Student and Research Assistant at CU Denver's School of Public Affairs. I've been living in Boulder, CO for 3 years.

In my free time I'm fighting for policy change at the city and state level in favor of a low-carbon, renewably powered electricity grid. I also love to trail run, play guitar and draw.

I grew up in the Hudson Valley region of New York about an hour and a half north of New York City.

I am the middle child of three with an older brother, a younger brother and two parents.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from different parts of the world because I love the perspective shift that happens when you realize that our 'way of life' in the United States is just one of many viable ways of existing.

I also have big travel plans for this lifetime, so I'd like to make friends from different countries that could potentially host me in the future.

I am able to host travelers, or simply show travelers around Boulder, CO.

" I don't like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn't of much value. Life hasn't revealed its beauty to them."

“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”
