ABOUT ME

Hi Folks!

I just moved to Colorado Springs from the Midwest (spent time mostly in Michigan and Wisconsin). Like everyone here I love traveling and connecting with locals to learn more about people and the world we live in. Very excited to check out the craft brew scene here in CO and enjoy the beauty of this wonderful state. Hope to start hosting again soon!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about having fun and being happy. It's not enough to just be "content." If you're not happy with your situation, do something about it! Work hard, play hard, and fulfill your dreams!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have traveled through multiple countries by staying with friends and embracing their hospitality. I started couch surfing a lot during medical school interviews and have completely fallen in love with the concept. I recently moved to Wisconsin and plan on hosting once I get settled in.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had amazing experiences thanks to Couchsurfing. I try to bring a taste of Michigan / Wisconsin (microbrews!) with me to share a little of my awesome home state when I travel and have met great people along the way. Just a few highlights: 1) sneaking into the BIG TEN championship game with a CS to watch MSU win the conference. 2) Having the most amazing weekend for Mardi Gras with VIP treatment thanks to my CSer!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to dance and to enjoy life! I'm very easy going and love trying new things. Oh, I can also teach you how our eyes work and answer any eye related questions.
