Hello! I am a recent graduate from Colorado College, Colorado, USA with a major in American Southwest Studies. (If you’re curious what that is I’m happy to talk more about it) I love traveling and meeting locals wherever I go. I often plan travels around rock climbing but these days, I try and travel for deeper reasons that hopefully go beyond myself in some way. I’m also a budding contact improviser and I just love to dance and sing and play music generally! I’m definitely a mountain person who’s been raised to love the outdoors and adventuring in them. But I’m also one who loves little luxuries in life too like good art, chocolate, cheese, wine, etc etc. if you love celebrating life and love and the mountains and all the beautiful things we get to do in this world I think we’ll get along great!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m coach surfing because I love meeting new people while I’m traveling and far beyond saving money, the experience of getting to know real people from the place I am visiting fills my soul. Meeting new people and learning news things and new ideas will be something I’ll always prefer over a soul-less hotel.

Currently, me and my little sister just graduated university and high school respectively, and we planned a double graduation travels to celebrate! So if u hear from me this summer, I’m likely traveling with my little sister too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have established a first ascent of a remote mountain via a technical rock climb in the Canadian Coast Range in British Colombia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching people about rock climbing. Literally showing people the ropes haha. This is a skill I love being able to share.

I’m also well versed in photography so if you’re learning or interested in getting into both digital and film photography I’d love to teach what I know!
