CURRENT MISSION

I want to experience the world. Right now, the place to do that is Spain.

ABOUT ME

I love to DO things. Anything, really. I'm trying to experience the world right now, and am open to doing new things, old things, and slightly used things.

I love being outdoors-skiing, hiking, climbing, playing sports, backpacking. I've grown up in the mountains in the United States doing long backpacking trips and climbing huge mountains. During the winter, all of my time is spent skiing. I just love everything about being outdoors.

I love music, listening and playing. Over the years, I've played guitar, saxophone, and piano, and dabbled with other instruments.

I currently go to school in Colorado. Colorado is one of the best places in the United States for sure! Beautiful mountains, climbing, skiing, sunsets, and people, we have it all.

I definitely like going out at night to enjoy the nightlife. Whether that means casually drinking in a bar or going to clubs, I like it all. Oh yeah, and... I LOVE tequila.

Really, I'm open for anything!

PHILOSOPHY

"I don't control life, but I control how I react to it."

"Eyes up to the sky, she sighs, I need nobody,
true indeed sister, but you still need everybody,
because we hardly know ourselves, if we know nobody else,
and only in our loneliness can home become a hell, exhale."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new here! I'm taking classes/travelling in Spain for two months, and this is my time to start getting involved.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet.

Interests

The world, the outdoors, skiing, music, photography, futbol, language, PEOPLE.

My favorite thing in the world is making connections with other people. So, even though I love doing so many things, my favorite part of anything I do is the people I meet and the connections I make. For instance, I'm a member of a ski forum where I've met some great friends. My favorite aspect of photography is taking pictures of people. I love playing soccer and travelling because I get to meet new people that share similar passions for exploring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ooh, that's tough. I've been to some concerts and music events that have really changed my life. Skydiving was amazing, but I want to do it more. Being in Madrid for the 2012 Euro Cup Final when Spain won was incredible.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking! I worked at a Thai restaurant for a year and a half and love making some good curry. I enjoy many types of cooking though, it's always fun to experiment. I know a little about photography, and love to share insight and knowledge about photography.
