CURRENT MISSION

To step outside my comfort zone and try new things.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling, meeting new people, hearing their stories, and experiencing as much life as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Live the life you've got before it's gone. Explore the unknown, go out of your element, take risks, forge your own path, and create your own destiny.

Sharing is caring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New to CS, would love to meet new folks in Denver, and anywhere else my travels take me.

Unfortunately I'm in a studio apt. with no couch, however, eventually I'll have a bigger place with a couch for guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I look forward to my first of many CS experiences.
