I'm originally from Northern California, but currently live in Boulder, Colorado. I work as an assistant crew leader on a trail crew, meaning I am outside every day working on repairing existing trails, as well as building new ones. I also coordinate and oversee volunteer events, and love meeting new people!
I studied Spanish in college, and lived abroad in Ecuador for a year. Since then I haven't done too much traveling, sadly, but I am ready to get back into it and I've just booked a trip to Hawaii this winter. I can't wait!
I am outdoorsy and independent, and am open to most outdoor activities. I'm a warm weather person, and my current job is seasonal, therefore I decided to get out of Colorado for the winter and go somewhere warm and exciting. I've heard so much about Hawaii, and can't wait to see what it has to offer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people, and I think it's amazing that there are people who will open their homes to others.
I want to make the most of my time in Hawaii, and I'm definitely on a budget so I will be incredibly grateful for any place to sleep! I also look forward to meeting people who know the area and have recommendations about where to go and what to do!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with sharks in the Galapagos!

More recently, through my job I've just been certified to operate all sorts of heavy machinery, including bulldozers and excavators. Certainly not as exciting as sharks, but still awesome.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Random facts about animals, stories, dad jokes, movie quotes, and breakfast.

Also I'd love to practice my Spanish if anyone would like to learn/practice too!
