About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Banjo baby!

ABOUT ME

I am someone who loves music and learning about other cultures. Back in the states I am part of a bluegrass band in which I play the banjo. But I also play guitar and sing. I travel with my banjo in tow, which will deter a few people I know, but some people do enjoy it! I grew up in the mountains of Colorado so I am really keen on hiking and climbing and just enjoying the outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a newbie. I've only met a few couchsurfers and surfed once in Taiwan so I hope to build my experience in the coming years! I think this is a wonderful thing and I'm excited to meet some of the wonderful people on this site. There is definitely nothing that compares to the guidance of a local in an area you don't know and I really look forward to sharing the beauty secrets of my hometown in Colorado to anybody passing by.
