Hey! My name is Colton, but friends call me CJ. I love spreading light, love and positivity. I love adventuring, sight-seeing, and meeting new people. I believe that life is such a blessing and should never be taken for granted so I seek to travel, and listen to people's stories, and learn, and love, and spread compassion wherever I go. I love reading and writing poetry and music and can spend hours playing the ukulele and writing songs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share good company and small tokens of appreciation. I love adventures and am always down to sight-see. I am always down for conscious conversation and to learn the stories of 'strangers' that I meet. I can laugh
