CURRENT MISSION

To meet cool people and explore this beautiful world!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and explore the world, but when I am not traveling, I am lucky to have this little slice of heaven to call my home. I grew up in the Hill Country of Texas, and went to school at UT in Austin, and am happy that I have that as my roots, but when it comes down to it, I am really a mountain girl at heart, and plan on being in Colorado for a long time to come.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life well and to the fullest! Try and do something every day that scares you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not sure yet. Very new to this.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am very new to couchsurfing personally, but my brother has a lot of experience with it, and he has had nothing but great things to say about it. I love to travel when I get a chance, so I figure I might as well get on and get things started so that when I do travel next, I have a bit more experience with it all!

Interests

Pretty much anything outdoors. Hiking, camping, fly fishing, skiing, rock climbing, biking, etc.. I also enjoy doing more introverted things from time to time like reading and painting. I love getting together with a good group of friends for dinner parties which typically will turn into jam sessions (I play the bouzouki and ukulele).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I have every experienced was exploring the ruins of Machu Picchu in the mist before dawn when no one else was around. I then watched the sunrise from the summit of Huana Picchu with my best friend, and a random dog that came seemingly out of nowhere to overlook his Incan empire. It was such a beautiful/spiritual moment that which I will never forget.
