About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel in a way which I meet people from the place, who know the gems to explore, are open to new experience and the magic in every day. I like to offer the skills that I can and work with people embedded in the place to learn about the culture.

Im new to Colorado and Im excited to explore music, art, and the outdoors with like minded people who I can swop stories from adventures and make new ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked up a trek called Laras in the Urubamba Valley in the Sacred Valley in Peru, just two months ago, and after 14 hours of hiking , with steep slopes, sandy terrain and the clouds coming in , slept on the floor in a herders home with guinea pigs running around my head. The 10 year boy spoke Spanish but the mom and day were quetchua, with five people sleeping in one bed. I woke up to the smoke coming from the rooves of the huts, the morning light shimmering on the glacier. Humbling and incredible experience.
