Hello!

I am currently traveling a little around Europe before beginning research on urban air quality in Berlin this summer!

I am originally from Colorado and very much subscribe to the typical Colorado lifestyle-- I'm an admirer of all things organic and sustainable, I love playing outdoors, and I believe that evenings are best spent around a campfire. At my home university I study Natural Resource Management and Environmental Economics. . Overall, I would consider myself a very outgoing person, and I always try to give more than I take.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love people. I want to have friends all over the world and see how the locals live where ever I am visiting. I like to laugh with others. Humans are my favorite animal.

Interests

I like most things. Some of my favorites include yoga, gardening, skiing, mountain biking, backpacking, traveling, music, film, singing, dancing, cooking, theater, philosophy, and photography.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've stood topless on a mountain 14,231 feet tall.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a pretty good baker! I can definitely teach you how to bake some mean (i.e. really nice) vegan cookies. I also make a good stir fry. I'm can lead a yoga class and help you with your handstands. I can weed your garden and cuddle any pets you have. I am also a native english speaker, so if you are looking for help with english-- look no further!

I want to learn how to flyfish, how to preserve fruits, and how to speak German better. I would really love to learn the guitar-- or any instrument for that matter.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you a new friend, some interesting conversation, a wily adventurer, a home cooked meal, an energy efficient dish-washer, and a place to stay next time you find yourself in the Southwestern United States.
