I grew up in upstate NY went to a SUNY school and got my love for traveling and meeting new people when I did a study abroad year in New Zealand! Now I live in Colorado, lived in a van for about 7 years on the road and am a traveling sales rep for camping supply company - Wilcor Outdoors. Ive now got a couple little cabins in the mountains on Monarch Pass and have turned one of them into a hostel for thru hikers and travelers called 'The Butterfly House'! And Id be happy to host you!
