ABOUT ME

Hi,

I am from Seattle and I moved to Colorado for college where I still am. I am a recent graduate and am currently working as a technical writer for Thomson Reuters and I am trying to figure out what kind of career I want to pursue.

I love soccer, horses, food and skiing, and I have recently got into rafting. I did a private 19 day trip down the Grand Canyon last year and have done a few smaller trips as well.

PHILOSOPHY

*Do unto others as you would have done unto you.

*What doesn't kill you is just postponing the inevitable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed in Amsterdam, hosted 2 people who were visiting my college to figure out whether they wanted to attend, and have been to a few mixers. I would like to host and surf more!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a private rafting trip down the Grand Canyon. It was amazing because we saw so few people, but the people we did see were amazing. There were two stand out things: Havasu Falls which is one of the most gorgeous places on earth, and Lava Falls, the most terrifying rapid I have ever run.

Teach, Learn, Share

In Golden I can take you whitewater kayaking in the summer 2 blocks from my house. I have all of the equipment ready!

Also I can take people skiing (I don't have the equipment and this is expensive) and I'm always excited to play soccer!
