CURRENT MISSION
The world is my playground and I want to experience all of it!

ABOUT ME
I like to travel, laugh, be around people, and be outside as much as possible!
I've been spending time outdoors since I was a kid. I worked summer camps all through college and spent most of my thirties working as an outdoor guide in Colorado (Roosevelt Nat'l Forest). I love to travel and I love to meet new people and experience new/different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY
Don't wait until you retire to enjoy life. There are so many amazing things to experience out there. I want to do it all!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I stay with people and I love to give advice on things to do in my area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am pretty independent. I enjoy hearing recommendations of places to go/see/do, but I don't need my hand held.
