CURRENT MISSION

To see the world in a light that I never knew existed.

ABOUT ME

The best way to sum this question up is that I enjoy the experience. The commonly sought and seen, but also the unheard and unique. I want to feel the sand between my toes, meet new friends at a little corner bar, and reach the top of a mountain.

I was born and lived my early life around Denver Colorado. Ended up in Minnesota for 10 years before making my way back to Colorado for my undergraduate at Colorado State University.

PHILOSOPHY

I beleive in buying a beer for a stranger. A simple beer opens a door to a good conversation and common ground. Commonalities show places both have walked and talk of new trails to hike in the future. Buying one beer is a powerful thing, and it always seems to pay itself back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just starting Couchsurfing I am still trying to figure this one out. I know once I get back and have a stable place I will be more than willing to host and help try to add to the couchsurfing in my community.

Interests

I enjoy outdoor recreation like hiking, camping, fishing. If it involves a beer and enjoying the day it is good enough for me.

Opening a door for a stranger has a larger impact than you think.
Beleive in beer carma. A beer bought for a new friend eventually works its way back to you.
See the world in an optimistic light. In a world full of negative actions and thoughts it is easy to get stuck in it all. It is a lot easier to live life with a smile on your face; it usually works itself out.
