About Me

"A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions." - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Recently moved to Colorado with my husband, Tibi, and we plan to stay here for at least the next 7-8 years. We enjoy the outdoors, adventure, art, good conversations, red wine, cooking, opportunities to learn, and meeting new people =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To promote the idea that we are all connected, and should trust each other as such. There's no need to spend money on a hotel room when you can couchsurf and experience so much more; meeting the locals, wherever you travel, opens up so many more doors to the place you're travelling to.

Interests

Anything relating to art, architecture and design. I also love to read and write, and I'm trying to learn more about photography. I'm becoming more passionate about yoga every day, and I also have a huge passion for the outdoors and any kind of activity - running, biking, hiking, climbing, kayaking, etc. And above all, I think that travelling has got to be my favorite thing to do since it has the ability to tie all of these things together.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a recent graduate of an interior design/architecture program, so all I really have to offer is some design theory and architectural history. I can also lead a short impromptu yoga class when given the challenge. I'd like to learn as much as I can about whichever culture I'm visiting, and possibly how to cook a traditional meal if there's a chance.
