About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Adventuring and discovering new friends in new places

ABOUT ME

I recently started school at Colorado State University in the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology. I am still exploring the surrounding areas, bars and restaurants and look forward to sharing Fort Collins with all sorts of folks. I enjoy hiking, running, rock climbing, camping, back-country skiing, floating the rivers, drinking delicious beers and cooking and sharing delicious food with old and new friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open in mind and heart and anything is possible

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have yet to host and am looking forward to it this summer!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed once down in New Orleans, which was an amazing experience. Loved the music down there! And now I would like to pay it forward by welcoming travelers to Fort Collins.

Interests

Outdoor recreation of all sorts, from kayaking and rafting to downhill skiing and climbing.
I enjoy live music, dancing, drawing, cooking (and eating) and getting to know new people and cultures.
