CURRENT MISSION

Do what makes me come alive.

ABOUT ME

When I first made this profile, it was with my best friend, Seyeon, to help us explore Austin, TX. We had an amazing experience there meeting incredible hosts, and ever since then, I've been wanting to incorporate more couchsurfing into my travels. Today, Seyeon lives in Seattle, and I live in western Colorado. Although we don't get the opportunity to travel together as much as we did when we were roommates in college, we are both very passionate about seeing the world!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive. - Howard Thurman

We can do no great things, only small things with great love. - Mother Teresa

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Austin, TX and throughout the Roaring Fork Valley in Colorado before moving here; Hosted Couchsurfers at our home in the mountains in Colorado; Met many great people along the way!

Interests

I have a huge variety of passions, most of which revolve around either being outdoors or writing (or better yet, both!) I read a ton and love nothing more than curling up with a good book. I consider myself an avid trail runner, hiker, and snowboarder. Being around the mountains and/or near bodies of water always puts me at ease. I didn't grow up cooking or baking, but love to do both now. There's nothing like a good meal or a fresh loaf of bread!

I love meeting new people, having long-winded conversations, learning from those who are different than me, and spending quality time with friends.
