CURRENT MISSION

Be busy when it's time to be busy, be still when it's time to be still.

ABOUT ME

I graduated from college in 2008 and moved to northern Virginia where I was a school teacher and track coach for 4 years. I went back to school to get my master's degree in exercise physiology and then moved to Colorado in 2014 to start work on my doctorate in sport coaching. The next four years will be spent improving myself as a person and coach and striving to be a part of team USA!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to this, but I love meeting new people and helping others out :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While I'm new to couch surfing, one of my favorite stories revolves around the Dave Matthews Band weekend at Alpine Valley, WI in 2009. My travel mate had bailed and I was debating going. I tried to sell the tickets, sold the pair for the first night, but couldn't get rid of the tix for the second. Instead of cutting my losses, I booked a flight 3 days before without a place to stay. I reached out to a forum. Someone messaged me, gave me a phone number of a camp coordinator who I then called. I found out later he was in the car on his way to WI from NE. He said to come on out, so I ended up meeting at a beautiful lake side camp ground where he and his friends spent the next 2 days getting to know each other. 5 years later, we still keep in touch.

Interests

I like to run recreationally and love being outside and surrounding myself with nature. But also like to be surrounded by people to satisfy my extroverted side, experiencing the local scenes at the place I travel to and around my home.
