CURRENT MISSION

continually test my limits and increase my capacity to help others

ABOUT ME

I'm looking for that elusive third option between work and play. I'm driven to succeed but obsessed with the romance of failure.

I keep myself from becoming too comfortable or confident with my existence by doing things that scare me.

I learn best while under pressure. I'm most productive while completely relaxed.

I'm enthused by challenges and obstacles

Humans are my ultimate passion.

PHILOSOPHY

Coffee Builds Community

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll contribute by lending a consciousness that supports and nutures unity and fellowship.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I now have recently had the wonderful pleasures of both surfing and hosting! My first surfing experience was a single night in Everett WA from which I returned to find an inbox full of couch requests for Fort Collins! My first guest was a miracle and I hope to introduce many more people to my beautiful city.

Interests

My mind and body both belong outdoors. Nature has the wonderful ability to build patience and tolerence. I spend my summers backpacking through the great American southwest and also up high on my native Colorado peaks. The winters are filled with weekend snowboarding vacations and occassional snowshoe hikes. I also enjoy recreational sport climbing and bouldering all throughout the year.

Other interests of mine range from biology and anatomy to foreign film and poetry.

I should also mention coffee. I've worked for years inside and around almost every coffee ring that Fort Collins has to offer. I have met many of my most wonderful friends through espresso whether it was by me working as a barista, volunteering or donating my paychecks as a devoted regular!
