I've set a goal for myself: travel somewhere internationally at least once a year.

I live in Colorado and love everything this state provides me. I spend most of my time outside either climbing rocks or rafting rivers. I am a Bone Marrow Transplant Nurse as well as a Clinical Instructor for nursing students. I love my job but it is truly challenging, so it's a good thing it allows me a lot of travel days! I have an amazing American Bulldog/Boxer mix, she is the greatest sidekick a girl could ask for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and create new experiences.

"They danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" ~Kerouac

I will be traveling around Western Europe for almost a month, two weeks of which I will be traveling solo. I want to mix up my experiences from hostels and other travelers, to couchsurfing and locals. When I return I'll have a new rental to move into and would love to host CS then and show them the best Denver and Colorado has to offer.

Interests

Whitewater rafting, rock climbing, mountain biking, skiing, hiking, and camping. I love beer and whiskey, crocheting (stitching and bitching), painting, reading (I always have a book on me), watching movies, and making jewelry.

I can listen to folk/americana/bluegrass anytime, but I'll listen to anything as long as it makes you want to either dance or sing.
