About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the 7 Wonders of the World. Whatever they are. Maybe create my own list... that would be fun!

ABOUT ME

My best friends would only have wonderful things to say about me, I hope! I'm friendly, energetic, creative, and kind. Clean and respectful. I like meeting new people and seeing new places.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life with great joy. People live within their own vision of the world, and I want mine to be happy. Life is meant to be experienced. Take care of people and they will take care of you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did my first couchsurfing in Oct 2014 and I can not say enough good things about it. I've gotten a chance as both a hosted and a hostee and during that time I've already made good friends. If you'd like to stay with me that secret password is Mozart. So glad to be a part of the group!

Interests

I enjoy hiking, snowboarding, camping, travel, reading, and socializing. I try to take at least one major international trip every year, and several that are closer to home.

  • running
  • reading
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • music
  • hiking
  • spelunking
  • camping
  • snowboarding
  • swimming
  • beaches

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting on the beach at night in the south pacific, music playing in the distance and the sound of water lapping on the sand, chilling my toes, as an array of stars, more than I've ever seen before, glitter before me.
Spelunking up and down waterfalls in search of glowworms. Or through seemingly never-ending tunnels. Or trying to read a cave map printed off the internet and getting a bit turned about. Or...
...and then there was that incredible hike in Maui: over wooden planks spanning crevices, hopping across rocks to cross streams, jumping off waterfalls, swimming up canals, slipping across the mud in the bamboo forests.

Teach, Learn, Share

Downtown Denver has a free ice skating rink in the winter with $2 skate rentals. It's open until 10 pm and if you get there late enough you can avoid running over the small kiddos.
