I live in Denver when my partner and dog in our house that is big enough for both of us to work out of but frustratingly hard to host out of. I run my own business from it seeing bodywork clients, so in a way I still get to host new people and get that traveler vibe.
My partner and I are well trained by our dog, who takes us on walks and let's us share the couch with her. She's a great pup, and keeps me entertained. When I'm not cooking, playing board games, reading or making things.
All that means I travel less than before, but I still like getting out there and exploring when work and the dog allow it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People are whole worlds in and of themselves, and I spend most of my time exploring the worlds of others and myself.

I like sharing experiences and I value community. Couch surfing is clear fit.

Though I didn't use couchsurfing to do it, I'm happy to have been hosting and hosted for most of my life. Sometimes I'm able to be able provide a couch to surf on, and that always feels good. I'm always hoping to meet some incredible people who will share a bit of this whole life thing with me, and occasionally a place in their homes.

Interests

Having an engaging coversation usually the top choice for me in how to spend time with others - and a perk to conversation is that it can be multitasked. I enjoy food, all of it. Growing it, cooking it, eating it - sharing food with people is a big favorite. Unfortunately I can't handle spice in the slightest. I know, lame. I like to paint and draw abstract things. Lately I've been building things with wood. I like things that keep my body active - climbing, hiking, giving massages. And exploring! I'm interested in finding new interests.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Right now I'm building a couch. The design, the wood frame, the cushions, all of it. Not sure if that'd necessarily amazing, but it's top of mind.
