About Me

Hellooo

I like to try new things and get to know people.

After spending two years abroad in Australia and New Zealand, I've made my home here in Denver, Colorado!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Part of visiting a country or a destination is the experience from both the tourist side and the local side. I am grateful to make friendships and connections that go beyond my travels. Couch surfing to me is a community where we can all learn and experience new things from strangers and future friends. My best friend is someone who I met in the airport going to Paris. We both were traveling alone. We kept in touch and have been traveling together randomly. It goes to show that you don't know where you'll meet amazing people or people that will have such a huge impact on your life. Couchsurfing facilitates these kind of experiences.

Interests

I am hiker, climber, rafter, and camper. I love the outdoors, my dog, and traveling!

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a bus for four hours in Costa Rica without any Spanish skills and somehow made it to this beach town. I hiked El Yunque to the peak. I have seen a volcano up close in Nicaragua. I've swam with sharks. I drove around the entire country of Belize. I slept in a camper van around Iceland for 8 days exploring volcanos, waterfalls, and glaciers. I rode camels in the Sahara Desert in Morocco. First experience scuba diving was in the Great Barrier Reef.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always say yes to food.
