I can't really host right now, but I give you tons of information on where to go for just about anything--food, drink, hiking, and so forth, and would love to do those activities with you if available. The best way to get in touch is try emailing directly at madeline.bergon@gmail.com.

CURRENT MISSION

To learn

ABOUT ME

"You just have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven."

sunshine makes me happy.

I am easy-going, thoughtful, up for adventure and talking to strangers, empathetic, enjoy relaxation, reading, the smell of new paints, drawing, playing piano, guitar, and accordion (badly), hiking, playing with my dog, hugging, having my feet tickled by grass, rain, mountains, snow, Earl Grey, keeping my sense of curiosity alive, spicy foods, old cars, sunflowers, campfires, Orion and his faithful dog Sirius, swimming in rivers, wool socks, embroidery, climbing trees, laughing til i cry and my stomach hurts.

I just graduated with my bachelors degree in Anthropology. I completed my last semester as a study abroad in Salzburg, Austria and then traveled with my brother for a month. Now, I'm heading back to beautiful Colorado!

PHILOSOPHY

Be open to change.
