About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Follow your happiness!

ABOUT ME

Currently living in Las Vegas, which is a weird but cool life experience. Trying to take advantage of the amazing outdoors surrounding this area and see a little bit of the uniquely "Vegas" indoors as well. I have a yellow lab named "Harls Barkley" that I currently work and play with.
PHILOSOPHY

Go big or go home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not very active on CS but I've met a lot of couchsurfers through friends. They've all been great people with amazing stories to share and I look forward to getting involved. Currently available for coffee/drink but hope to have a couch available in the future!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met up with couchsurfers for coffee, drinks, hikes, kayaking. I've surfed with some lovely fellows in Denver and would love to do it again sometime!

Interests

Any outdoor activities, soccer, beach volleyball, hiking, biking, tennis backpacking, and a good dance off! Rainy days consist of Netflix marathons and bloody marys.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ahhh this is a lot of pressure!

Swimming in an alpine lake in Kings Canyon, CA with my brother is a stand out moment that I'll always remember.
Also, Austin City Limits last year was just an all around magical experience with great friends, music and food!
