I took my first international trip has a high schooler and loved interacting with people of other cultures. That was a defining moment in my life, and I've enjoyed many travels since. That said, now I'm a newly-wed (and newly-unemployed) Christian loving life in Denver, Colorado. Love, love, love seeing the mountains outside my window everyday!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While hotels and hostels are fine, the best trips I've had are the ones where I've lived with locals. I had my first actual couchsurfing experience in 2015 in New Orleans, and it enriched our trip so much. Who knows when I'll be a guest again next, but I can certainly "give back" to others in the meantime.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like having spiritual conversation, but I also LOVE organizing. Need help organizing your closet or kitchen? I can help!! If that's too intimidating, I can help you with your Spanish.

If you have an extra bass guitar lying around, you could have a jam session with my husband. If you're curious to know what's appealing about cars racing around in a circle, talk to him!
