CURRENT MISSION

I see my path, but I don't know where it leads, not knowing where I am going is what inspires me to travel it

ABOUT ME

I think of myself as someone who loves to take challenges even if I fail. I have an optimistic take on life and would be down for whatever adventure comes my way. I was born for the global society and I continue to search for the path that I was meant for. I learn by taking risks and saying yes when the opportunity calls my name.

I live and play in Denver, Colorado. I don't see it as a place to just live but a playground for the adventurous. When I am not working at the School of Medicine, I am up in the mountains hiking, biking, snowboarding, or enjoying a good brew and music

PHILOSOPHY

We must think of ourselves on a global society. Without this perception we completely narrow ourselves to the destruction of our society.

"It is our light,not our darkness that most frightens us. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure"Marianne Williamson

' I see my path but I don't know where it leads, not knowing where I am going is what inspires me to travel it' - Rosario de Castro

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to host but having two roommates who are not as interested in the idea puts a damper on the opportunity. I have mostly surfed and have appreciated peoples' hospitality. I am more than willing to grab a coffee, beer, and explore the city and mountains with anyone who is looking for some adventure!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed many times and have had some amazing experiences thus far. I am excited to continue couch surfing in the future as well as give back to those who are looking to freeload as I have done for the past 3 years. Nothing like being poor and wanting to travel

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am thankful for everyday that I have been on this earth. From snorkeling a great barrier reef, learning a new language, surfing, white water rafting, hiking around the rainforest,graduating college, climbing mayan temples.. the list endless but the amazing thing about it is I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to do this.

My last adventure: I returned to Peru to visit my younger brother who studied abroad in Lima. We traveled through Lima and climbed up to Machu Picchu!

Next adventure planned: Dec-Jan 2020 I will be traveling to New Zealand for a friend's wedding. Excited to see the South Island and do some adventure traveling. Looking forward to fishing, zorbing, and hopefully bungee jumping!

Teach, Learn, Share

I made a new years resolution to learn one new thing about a person everyday. I think it is important that we always keep asking questions about life because there will always be new problems and new solutions.

I love to speak spanish and want to use it whenever possible! Up for anyone ho wants to help me in that regard!
