CURRENT MISSION

seeking coffee breath & sunshine

ABOUT ME

i love experiencing life. the outdoors. Jesus. meeting people, knowing people, loving people. things that challenge my views. different cultures. when people break societal norms.

currently, I'm living in Fort Collins, Colorado, working on my undergrad in Nutrition & Dietetics at CSU. I call my home Austin, Texas. These are the only two cities I've lived in, and both are incredible. Most of my family and friends are here in Colorado or in Austin, and my boyfriend is in Boston. I'd love to know people from everywhere.

PHILOSOPHY

be free.
choose life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to know people when I travel.
my current roommate situation makes it difficult to host, but one day I'd love to!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

did some surfing along the west coast (and on the way there) with my boyfriend Chris on a road trip in June 2012. we had awesome experiences and couchsurfing became my favorite part of the trip.
can't wait to do more surfing and begin hosting!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the way bright hot sun feels on your skin at high altitude with zero percent humidity + great friends + a green lawn + homemade bread and jam.

Teach, Learn, Share

i know some random facts about mostly food, but various things.
I can teach you how to stop buying food and get it out of the dumpster instead.
Also, I brew a mean batch of kombucha.
