I'm from Colorado, and I'm currently traveling all over the West Coast living out of my beloved HotelElement. I ride bikes, run on dirt, climb rocks, and I'm hoping to meet awesome people while on the road. Always searching for the quirky gems, while embracing the simple pleasures.

I'm a freelance writer/journalist (mostly outdoor lifestyle) and I work for a startup.

Beyond movement and outdoor enthusiasm, I'm a coffee snob, I love food, I love to laugh, and I love reading.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

There's no greater sense of community and sharing stories, homes, and meals makes for a wonderful experience. It reminds me that the world helps others out when in need and I want to open up my doors to do the same.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've had some pretty incredible experiences, mostly physical accomplishments...over the years while grappling with how to identify myself through these adventures I decided that being Addie is just enough. Because it's a little too much :).

教，学，和分享

I am eager to learn everything and I think the greatest gift someone can offer is knowledge. Teach me how to be a better climber, new techniques, how to build something, a piece of advice...

In turn, I would hope I can give back to others. I've always said that if I can inspire just one person through my writing then I've done my job.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I love to share stories. Listening to others and building a conversation is one of the things I treasure most. I also love cooking for others and I can always provide some tasty libations.

If you're an outdoor enthusiast I can surely show you some serious adventures.

If we aren't playing outside, I'd like to think I might be able to humor you and maybe even challenge you in Scrabble.
