Hello! I am an active 40 year old female living in Boulder Colorado since 2003. I am an avid rock climber, hiker, and all around outdoor enthusiast looking to have adventures and meet new people around the world. My first experience on couch surfing was way back in 2007 (before it was a subscription app…) and I stayed with folks in Spain, Italy, Croatia, Bosnia, France, Ireland, Scotland, and Hungary… and it was an amazing experience! Unfortunately none of my reviews from that long ago show up on this app, but as a guest, I am flexible and respectful. I LOVE to cook and I will make you a meal everyday if that’s something you’re interested in! I am adventurous and open to new experiences, meeting new people, and am looking to have a unique experience when I travel. I do not drink alcohol or use drugs, and and instead prefer experiences that broaden my mind and world knowledge. I am open to any questions you may have about me, so please, feel free to ask! Hope to connect soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Back in 2007 I was working an internship in London, and then spending the rest of the summer traveling solo through Western and Eastern Europe. Couchsurfing was just a website back then, and I stumbled upon it almost by accident. It turned out to be a very happy accident indeed! I met so many amazing people along the way and because of the generosity and kindness of complete strangers, I had a trio that I will remember for the rest of my life.
I am planning my next adventure for the spring on 2025, and again will be traveling solo… but this time around am hoping to do some more extreme activities that I can’t do alone. As I mentioned before, I am an avid rock climber and am excited that I have the opportunity to travel to Greece and explore as many areas as I can. I hope through Couchsurfing I can connect with some folks who are as stoked about climbing and the outdoors as I am, and I would love to make some lasting friendships in the process!

Teach, Learn, Share

“Most actors toil in abscurity, never stepping into the spotlight. But if you hone your craft, work diligently… you might just find yourself cast in the role of your lifetime.”
