Hi there! I’m from Colorado and I love hiking, skiing, and anything in the mountains. My ideal day revolves around a good book and a great cup of coffee. Currently trying to figure out what I want to do with my life and hopefully make a difference along the way. I studied sociology, spent a year teaching English in South India, and most recently worked as an organizer for several Democratic political campaigns. I don’t have a dog but I wish I did, so I’d love to meet yours!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was recently introduced to Couchsurfing by a friend and loved it!! The best experiences I’ve had traveling have always revolves around the people I meet, and I can think of no better way to get to know a place than by being welcomed into the home of someone who lives there. I don’t have the space to host right now, but would love to do so in the future as well. Excited to be joining this community!

Teach: everything I know about getting more involved in local politics if you’re interested, or how to tie a sari! Learn: I’d love to learn about your city or town and how you ended up there. Share: food, drink, and of course conversation!
