About Me

ABOUT ME
I am a happy, easy going person that loves to travel often. I recognize that I grow as an individual when I meet new people and learn from them. I am actively trying to enrich my life with different ideas, perspectives, histories, and cultures. One of the best ways to do this is to embrace local people wherever I go. Likewise, I enjoy providing some of that insight to others when they are traveling in my area. I have not hosted (because my roommates were not okay with it), but I have been a guest before and I also meet up with local couch surfers.

I live in Denver and I have traveled extensively. I’ve been to 26 countries and I’m moving to New Zealand in June.

PHILOSOPHY
You must give everything to make your life as beautiful as the dreams that inspire it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to see a place is usually through the eyes of those that are familiar with it. Locals always know the coolest places and have the most interesting stories about their homes.

Interests

I enjoy spending time outdoors. I am happy to find myself hiking, camping, cliff jumping, kayaking, fishing, hammocking, and things of that sort. I also enjoy music festivals and going to art or science museums. My next goal is to get scuba certified for a trip to Iceland.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done geological field work across much of the western US, which involved six weeks of camping and hiking. My favorite portion of this was a week long primitive camping experience in an abandoned mining town in Montana.
