CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the world's boundaries and my own.

ABOUT ME

I love the arts and beautiful places. Some of my passions are hiking, biking, painting and great beer and coffee. I am currently in university for apparel merchandising and graphic design. I own a small, start-up clothing company with a great friend of mine who I will also be traveling to Patagonia with in November for a backpacking trip.

I live a passionate life and love big energy but I also need the quite and peaceful places to bring me back to center.

PHILOSOPHY

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Anything to do with the outdoors and exploring but I am also a city girl at heart. I volunteer to promote for venues and love a great show. I work at a brewery in Fort Collins. I also volunteer in the fashion program at my univeristy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Backpacked all throughout Europe for four months and couch surfed with many wonderful hosts. Traveling wouldn't have been the same if I had stuck to hostels.

Also travelled to Thailand but didn't get the opportunity to couch surf while I was there.

Interests

I love to bicycle through beautiful cities. I also am a fine art major and love the arts and history. I love the energy of the city but the serenity that nature brings as well. I love to cook vegan dishes and have a passion for great coffee and beer.
