I grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska skiing, racing dogs, playing soccer and camping. I am currently living in Missoula, Montana enjoying everything this small city has to offer! Biking is my passion but when there's too much snow for two wheels I like to cross country ski, hike, cook, soak in hot springs and read. In the summer I love swimming, camping, and playing soccer.
I am laid back and always trying to learn something new. I love the outdoors, animals and meeting new people.

Crecí en Fairbanks, Alaska eskiando, conpetiendo en carreras de trineos de perros, jugando fútbol y camping. Ahora vivo en Missoula, Montana y me gusta todo que esta ciudad pequeña tiene para hacer! Andar por bicicleta es mi pasión pero cuando hay demasiado nieve para dos ruedas me gusta esquiar, ir andando, cocinar, visitar aguas termales y leer. En el verano me gusta nadar, hacer camping, y jugar fútbol.
Soy una chica relajada y siempre estoy intentando a aprender algo nuevo. Me encanta la naturaleza, los animales y conociendo gente nueva.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My family has hosted couch surfers for a few years and it is always fun meeting the people from all over the world who choose to visit my home. I want to see the culture of a place from a locals perspective instead of solely as a tourist. Also I want to speak Spanish at every opportunity I get, although I'll be happy to speak English if someone wants the practice!

Mi familia ha tenido muchas surfistas de sofá en mi casa en las últimos años y siempre es divertido conocer gente de todo el mundo. Quiero ver la cultura de un lugar a través de los ojos de un local además de la perspectiva de un turista. También quiero hablar más español, aunque si alguien quiere, puede practicar su inglés conmigo!

Interests

Exploring, hiking, camping, playing soccer, sustainable development (however much of an oxymoron that is), cooking, cake decorating, gardening, any activity in the snow, and swimming.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most music and my list of current favorite artists include The Cat Empire, Kings of Leon, Courtney Barnett, Romeo Santos, Glass Animals and Squirrel Nut Zippers.

Sometimes I think I read too much. My favorites are Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey and The Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks by William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac.

I like quirky movies like Amelie, Pirate Radio and Life Aquatic.
