Home is in a small mountain town at the foothills of the San Juans in Southwest Colorado. Have a passion for the mountains, deserts, natural world, wildlife, photography, writing, music and learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just beginning to do this whole travel thing! Staying with locals seems like such a fun time, and I'd love to make some good connections around the world. Of course, I would love to show Southwest Colorado off if anyone makes it this way.

Teach, Learn, Share

Currently I'm learning about the art and philosophy of chiropractic which has allowed for many beautiful discoveries, healing opportunities and changes in my own life. With this comes the reading of many books and long talks of philosophy and health... As well as trucking along this anatomy coloring book.
On another note, I'm also learning how to jam on the mandolin! So that means I love bluegrass music! But I also love classical, rock, indian, crooning, alternative, folk, native, celtic.... genre-less music... and finding artists I never knew existed. And hey, I also play the classical flute.
And... More learning! Attempting to re-learn and expand my knowledge of French, and scratching the surface of the Spanish language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking has turned into one of my passions, and whether it be breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert, I would love to share some good meals and learn new recipes with hosts. Recently have been experimenting with garbanzo beans on all levels.... Good stuff. Also love to play music. Pretty much only good on the classical flute and mandolin, but if you have anything similar to those lying around (or a drum) we could make some good noise. And I always love sharing stories of travels, outdoor experiences, childhood, present life, future prospects, philosophy, spirituality, and all that other stuff we could think of.
