CURRENT MISSION

Livin' every day like it's Shark Week.

ABOUT ME

All I wanna do is build a tiny house and snowboard every day with my dog.

Here are some things I love:
Balloons, llamas, old maps, the sound of trains, rubick's cubes, trees, sock monkeys, running in circles with sparklers.

PHILOSOPHY

"If your dreams don't scare you, then they aren't big enough."

"No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, I host, I'll play tour guide around Denver. I love showing people how awesome this state is so they can fall in love with it like I have. More interested in showing off the local favorites than touristy spots, though. Wanna watch a movie at Red Rocks, take part in a costumed bike parade, or find some fresh pow to bomb through? Let's make it happen.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Wow, what a great journey so far. I've found most people to be positive, down to Earth, open-minded explorers with a genuine passion for life, and I love hearing all their different stories. I think it's amazing that people from all corners of the world can share this unique experience with each other and it shows that true kindness has no boundaries or barriers. When complete strangers become great friends overnight… what could be better than that?

Interests

If you can ride it, climb it, or jump from it, I'm into it.

My husky pup/best friend/hiking partner Loki Eddison, conquering all of Colorado's 14ers, hurling my body out of planes on purpose, sporadic dance parties and rocking my face off (btw - yes, I'm a terrible dancer but who cares?), backcountry hikes and hidden powder stashes, impromptu road trips, hammock-swinging and tent-sleeping, talking about nerdy science stuff, making new friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My second skydive resulted in a line twist that sent us into a tailspin and required a cutaway. I guess most sane people would probably take that as a sign to keep their feet firmly planted on the ground, but I found that even through the unexpected mayhem there's something so freeing about being in the air, surrounded by such a vast landscape. Finding calmness through the chaos, especially to save your own life, is definitely one way to make you feel alive.
