CURRENT MISSION

Live fully, love, laugh, and explore. Bring excitement and energy to each endeavor.

ABOUT ME

I love spending time outdoors hiking, skiing, soaking in the sun, cooking, and potlucks with friends. I've been a traveler since my junior year in high school, when I lived in Spain as an exchange student for a year. I enjoy reading, writing, and making videos for fun. My work roles have included tutor, nanny, and ski instructor. I will be starting school in the fall in somatic psychology at Naropa University.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, pay attention, listen, love, laugh, breathe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have participated as a couch surfer, for which I have been truly grateful. I've met some great people through this vibrant community. I am looking forward to hosting some surfers myself once settled back in Boulder.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been couch surfing for about a year, and have stayed with one lovely couple in Paris. I look forward to more adventures and hosting to come.

Interests

I love nature, dancing, people-watching, traveling and visiting new places, taking hikes, writing, and art. I am lately more and more interested in creating videos, learning to use social media for good causes, and developing meaningful relationships with people and community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I spent time on a field biology course in southern Africa, I was awestruck by the beauty of the land and the immensity of the sky with so many stars!

When I met my first niece I was completely awed with the new reality. My brother was a dad and I was an aunt. It was a big change.

Machu Picchu in Peru was amazing. It was enormous, quite a hike, and just gorgeous from every angle.
