Hi there!

My name is Natalie and I am 29 years old, hailing from Boulder, CO, USA! True to Colorado form, I enjoy any activity in the beautiful outdoors such as climbing, trekking, mountaineering, and snowboarding. When I am not outside, I love to cook and read books! My favorites are usually non-fiction in the social psychology category or anything about the great outdoors! Originally from Germany, I moved to the US in 2001 so I am also fluent in German. I backpacked through South America from October 18- May 19 and had some awesome experiences getting to connect with folks on Couchsurfing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What better way to connect and get an inside look at how people live while you are traveling? Sharing experiences with people is one of my favorite parts of traveling and Couchsurfing is an awesome medium to do this!
