I'm a Colorado native who is, first and foremost, an absolute people person. In my free time, you can find me meeting new people, traveling, cooking and baking, backpacking, hanging out with my dog, playing music, and dancing. I'm a coffee enthusiast who also thinks giraffes are the coolest creatures on the planet, roller coasters are the best, pineapple belongs on pizza, and puns are a completely acceptable type of humor. I love to experience new cultures and meet new people, especially when I can hear their stories and understand what makes them unique and what brought them to where they are now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is a chance to build connections far beyond my normal sphere of influence. I can meet people I wouldn't otherwise and try something I never have before, all through the experience of someone who's already been there. I in turn get to share a piece of my culture and life with them.
