About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to challenge myself and learn as much as I can

ABOUT ME

I am easy going, friendly, outdoorsy girl who loves to travel and meet new people!

Almost 2 years ago I completely changed my life from working an uninspiring lab job near Boston to working trails for Montana Conservation Corps. Best decision of my life so far.

Life is short so I try and make the most of it.

PHILOSOPHY

Be present. We only have this one life so why not make the most out of every day. So what makes you happy.

Vegetarian, because I'm against the current American meat industry. Frugal living- we don't need as much as the American culture says we do. I try not to buy in (literally) into the consumer culture.

Good times - sleep when you're dead. I love late-night adventures, staying up talking, drinking and having fun with people.

I like being active, not wasting too much time indoors. There is so much to see in the world!!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to CouchSurfing. Be gentle!

I've traveled around the U.S. quite a bit and couchsurfed once when I first came to Colorado. Now that I am settled in and live with wonderful roommates we'd like to open up our house and our hearts to some couchsurfers!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpack by myself a lot.

I'm proud of leaving my stable, well-paying but uninspiring job in Boston and following an idea of what I wanted to do out to Montana.
