Having grown up in the Rocky Mountains, I'm most at home when skiing, rock climbing, hiking or camping. I also love music; I played guitar and sang in a bluegrass band throughout college. I graduated from college in May. After working at a non-profit in Denver, CO. for the summer, I packed my life into a backpack and took off for South America with one of my best friends from childhood. We figure this would be the best time to travel - seeing as we don't yet have careers or families tying us down. Entering into a new phase of life, this journey is largely focused on self-growth and expanding our understanding of new people, cultures and landscapes. I hope that the challenge and adventure of traveling for 6+ months will arm us with a more open, easygoing and self assured mindset upon returning to our beloved Colorado!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Truth be told, we are on a tight budget during our travels. However, another huge draw of couch surfing is meeting new people from the areas that we travel to. There is no better way to get to know a new city than through the eyes of a local there :)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Logistically I am happy to help clean and make meals. I also love sharing music ( although warning: I'm a guitarist and left my guitar at home in exchange for a smaller instrument, a ukulele, which I just started learning). And of course conversation and friendship!
