CURRENT MISSION

keep it flowin'

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Minnesota in the most Minnesota-way possible: on a farm and a lake. Then hopped into the mountains when I moved to Colorado for undergraduate, and now am in grad school in Salt Lake. I'm a traveler, love the mountain life, and of course, enjoy meeting people.

PHILOSOPHY

You can only flow forward

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have mostly hosted with my previous housemates in Denver, and am now open to hosting with my new housemates (Gabby and Annie) in Salt Lake.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've co-hosted a handful of awesome people with my Denver housemates. I've had a buncha fun with the great personalities and interesting people that I have got spend time with so far. I've often been active with the surfers around-- whether it's hitting a bar or biking around.

Interests

A lot of my life revolves around getting outside-- to hike, camp, bike, run, or ski. I also paint occasionally, read, hang out at coffee shops, go to shows and concerts, all the fun stuff.
