About Me
CURRENT STATUS
August 2024 Update: We are now available to host again
My wife and I returned home after traveling abroad for all of 2022. It feels great to be back in Colorado and we’re looking forward to connecting with the local CS community and starting to host again!
ABOUT ME
I got into couchsurfing after graduating college in 2010. I pushed back the start date of my job I so could do some traveling in Europe. Since then I've been addicted to travelling and delving into the local way of life with help from couchsurfing.
PHILOSOPHY
Treat people how you would like to be treated and leave the earth a better place than when you got here. Pretty simple.
Everything is in walking distance with the right attitude.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
by lending a hand to other travelers whenever possible and doing a little traveling of my own
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far I have had about 50 or so couch surfing experiences and enjoyed them all immensely. The majority of my surfing experiences came when I backpacked through Europe years ago and was able to meet some quite amazing people. I can truly say that the best moments of that trip came when couchsurfing, exploring places in ways I never would have without CS. I've also been able to host a couple dozen or so CSers in Denver and explore the city and mountains with them, which has been a blast.
