I'm a dreamer, a joker, a writer, a climber and an office manager... not necessarily in that order :)

Homebase is in Golden, CO. I'm laying down some roots, enjoying the mountains, and working from home.

My BA in Creative Writing has led me down an interesting path of writing, studying, and traveling. I've recently completed a few year long excursions, made mostly possible by the fantastic people on couchsurfing and workaway. I've also travelled around the US a bit and have accumulated an odd plethora of random skills and hobbies (swimming, kickboxing, guitar, woodwinds, yoga, staring into space, weird films, and ancient art - among others), I am now working as an office manager for a holistic psychiatrist and just enjoying life.

I'm up for all kinds of adventures and I love to meet new people and hear their stories. I have plenty of stories myself and have a cozy apartment in a great area!

Would absolutely love to meet you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has taught me so much about sharing and community. I have met dear friends and have been immensely helped by the people I have met here. I am also always on the lookout for new places to travel, people to meet, stories to hear, and opportunities for collaboration and growth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once ate an entire funnel cake and then got on the 'Alien Abduction' ride at the county fair. This ride is one of those that spins so fast you fly up to the ceiling. Not so bad when it's only a couple minutes. Thing is, it was late in the evening so the ride manager let me ride 5x in a row. I survived without throwing up.

Oh, and I spent 3 days in London and not only did I manage to spend $0.00, I actually left with an extra 6 GBP!!! That, my friends, is accomplishment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a student of English, with a certificate in TEFL/TESOL and a passion for writing and storytelling. I can offer tutoring and entertainment!

I have also taught swim lessons for 10 years and played instruments (clarinet, alto saxophone, guitar, piano) for about that long as well! Would be happy to share any and all of my limited knowledge :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a willingness to explore every thing you've seen and everything you want to see! I can proofread your essays, tell cheesy jokes, and drink the wine you can't finish :)
