CURRENT MISSION

Go pretty much everywhere

ABOUT ME

My big passion is photography (see my website). If I surf with you, I can probably provide some impromptu portraits or other photographs.

I've graduated from school, and am working in the Denver area. I hope to continue traveling as much as possible, so I'm trying to become more active in the couch surfing community.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm pretty open minded, but I do believe that:
1. There is some sort of objective truth out there.
2. Human life is sacred.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a couch. If my roommates are down with it, you're welcome to drop in. Golden is nicely located if you want to split your time between the city (Denver) and the mountains.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have done more meeting up, lunch/coffee/tours types things than actual hosting/sleeping. I've met some great people this way though, both here in Colorado and abroad.
