I'm a girl with a bad case of wanderlust, just trying to explore the world and make as much of this life as I can. I have been living in Denver for six years, and I love it here. I love skiing, snowboarding, hiking, camping, and everything Colorado has to offer. I love to travel and have been to 17 countires, and am hoping to hit 30 before 30. I work as a Program Coordinator in the Office of International Affair at CU Denver, as a ski instructor at Keystone, and I teach online English language classes to kids in China. I am friendly, easy going, and love meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am passionate about travel and see this as a great opportunity to stay in new places and meet new people. It is a great community and I am happy to be a part of it. I will be working up in Keystone as a ski instructor this season, and I am hoping to to meet new people and make friends in Summit County.
I am new to surfing, so I hope to try it out, and eventually move on to hosting.

Interests

Skiing, snowboarding, and travel are my great passions, but I love anything active and outdoors. Yoga is also a huge part of my life. I love reading, writing, listening to and making music. It is my goal to explore as much of the world as I can and experience as much as I can.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost all music - indie, rock, hiphop, electronic, jazz, pop - but have been very into RnB lately.
My favorite movie of all time is Love Actually.
My favorite book is Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts, and I am a serious Harry Potter fan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year, I moved by myself to Tokyo, Japan without knowing one word of Japanese. I lived there for a year and worked as an English Teacher. It was the most difficult thing I've ever done, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share music in the form of playing guitar. I can teach you french, and some basic Japanese.
I can share stories and lessons from my travels around the world. I can share some yoga postures to help your body. If English isn't your first language, I can offer personal ESL lessons!
I am curious to learn from people with different experiences from my own.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences, positive energy, and awesome attitude!
