About Me

I'm on a mission to experience new things and meet new people, taking in what I learn to understand what really matters in this world. Constantly seeking out new adventures. I firmly believing in taking advantage of every opportunity that life throws my way. I'm a genuine extrovert and I always make time to watch the sunset.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's an amazing way to meet new people from different walks of life who all have the same worldly curiosity. Done a lot of surfing but I've never been able to host due to weird living situations... as soon as I can, I'm going to host like crazy and every night will be a pizza party. In the meantime, I'd love to meet up and have a good time with anyone traveling through.

Interests

I'm a "yes" person, there isn't much I don't enjoy doing. Anything outside is a shoe-in. Camping, skiing, hiking, walking, mountains, bicycling, kayaking, yoga, campfires... and then the things that sometimes happen inside like art, music, food, movies, history, wine, beer, coffee.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music generalist, and nothing beats live music. I like to pretend I know how to salsa, bachata, merengue, cumbia, swing, waltz, and sometimes twerk.

I've been really into Ed Abbey, Krakauer, and recently listened to A Short History of Nearly Everything, which was a nice mind stretch.

I have a tendency to flounder when people make movie references. Not my forte, but I'm working on it.

Teach, Learn, Share

My job has equipped me with a profound knowledge of the night sky, which is so much fun to share. I can give travel advice, especially in the southern Utah realm.

Language is a wonderful tool that humans have which enables us to constantly be sharing experiences. I love having conversations-- sharing stories, ideas, opinions. I'm a lifelong learner; I'll soak up your knowledge like a sponge and you have the option of wringing out some of what I've retained in life thus far.
