CURRENT MISSION

Love everything. Create new experiences. Explore new friendships. Have more adventures. Experience live music and dance until I can't anymore!

ABOUT ME

I've been teaching in Denver for 6 years now! I enjoy filling my time, outside of teaching, being as active as possible- doing just about anything outdoors! I love taking trips, attending free events or festivals, and cultural/historic experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that kindness gives birth to kindness, so never ever stop believing in people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe life is too short to not be doing what you love so I do things which make my soul happy and fulfilled. I believe that the essence of a human is to serve and I love helping out however I can in my community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Each experience is unique in it's own way! When I've surfed, i'm always amazed at how open and giving people are to sharing their stories and life. I try to be around as a host but appreciate the flexibility of being able to lend out a key to the house and bike to explore if I have to work.

Interests

Not limited to: camping, swimming in rivers & reservoirs, kayaking, picking wild flowers, going to thrift stores, dancing, gardening, picking my nose on occasion.
