CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to experience people and nature, and to live simply and be content. Along the way, I want to have special connections and be inspired and inspirational to people of all different backgrounds.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the mountains of Colorado. I have a deep passion for life, fun, friends, and activity. My connection with the mountains runs deep, and natural places inspire me beyond anything else. Experiencing beautiful landscapes with amazing people is what life is about!! I would call myself a people person, who enjoys discussing the complexities of life and also appreciates the small things which make our lives dynamic and interesting. My goals for traveling are to better myself, experience different cultures and points of view, and connect with different landscapes.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that as human beings, we have evolved in order to give some perspective to life on earth. I see our planet as one living, breathing, evolving organism, and see humans playing their role in being able to consciously appreciate our planet as we see it. I hope that humans can see the flaws in our lifestyles, and rise above what society deems acceptable actions. In short, I believe that happiness will occur when we live harmoniously with our surroundings, and are able to be compassionate, forgiving people, forging a new reality where we are a small part of the picture

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been involved with couchsurfers for a few years, though I am just now making my own profile. Roommates of mine have hosted surfers in Carbondale, and it has always been a positive experience. Now I am traveling South America and am excited to be on the other end of the couchsurfing experience

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In May of 2011, through roommates at the time, we housed a couch surfer named Vitor. He was a Brazilian traveling the U.S learning all he could about conservation. We connected instantly, and Vitor is still traveling abroad, inspiring and learning!!

兴趣

I enjoy a ton of different outdoor activities including; hiking, biking, skiing, kayaking and climbing. I also love seeing live music and believe dancing is the best exercise for the body and the mind. Recently, I have been learning the land, farming and making homegrown food a priority in my life. I am also interested in making sustainable lifestyle changes which I believe is the only way humans can continue life on this planet for generations to come. Living responsibly is a way of life which I am just beginning to figure out, but am excited to learn more about on my journeys abroad.
