CURRENT MISSION

Bring the perspective I gained from traveling into the next chapter of my life in Colorado.

ABOUT ME

Left my job in the Bay Area to create space for time with family, returning to road/mountain biking after hip surgery, traveling, camping, backpacking, and an open-ended trip to Medellin, Colombia. See how that went at www.medellincycling.com. Transitioning back into the "real world" now, living in Boulder, CO, looking for my next project as an environmental engineer while my husband goes to law school.

PHILOSOPHY

Cut bullshit out so you have room for the good stuff, even (especially) if it means forgoing convenience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One day when we have our own place it our couch will belong to couchsurfers!

Interests

Bikes, mountains! The environment and how to convince people that keeping it clean matters. Also, musculo-skeletal anatomy, and injury prevention. Hip surgery makes you interested in that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Alto de Letras (in Colombia) the biggest road cycling climb in the world, with a bunch of Colombians, the most welcoming people in the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's see, I know some stuff about: anything bikes (road, mountain), how to keep your hips and shoulders from going to shit, how environmental problems get fixed and why it's best to avoid them in the first place. Would love to learn more about different ways to travel, backpacking experience, and more about things I think I already know :-)
