About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover what the world has to offer

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Marietta, GA, A fantastic place with lots of wonderful people. For college I ventured out to the rocky mountains to attend Colorado State University. In addition to studying, I occupied my time skiing, rock climbing, mountain biking, and exploring the western U.S. I have since finished school, and am living in downtown Denver working as an IT Consultant.

PHILOSOPHY

Relax. Don't take life too seriously, but try and have some direction.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I signed up for couch surfing when I went on a 3 month backpacking trip through Argentina and Uruguay. I was hosted by some excellent people, and I am excited to now be in a position where I can share my couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All of my couch surfing experiences have been relatively positive. I have yet to be host though. Come check out Colorado! I'll show you around.
