About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To grow. And explore. And bring more amazing people into the fold of my life.

ABOUT ME

I am a connector by heart and trade. With a background in theater and a passion for helping others, that has translated into me connecting talented creatives with solid jobs. I took a hiatus from couchsurfing the past few years as my life situation and environment drastically changed, but I miss it terribly and I'm bringing myself back into the action.

If there were a few adjectives to escribe me, I would say bubbly, excited and empathetic. And I have one one fucking colorful vocabulary.

PHILOSOPHY

Know thyself. Once you know that, then the rest comes naturally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted and surfed and all of my experiences so far have just been just lovely. Could not ask for better surfers/hosts!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I mostly host, but I have had a stellar time surfing in Alaska, and I've surfed in San Antonio. And with moving to Denver recently, I expect the trend to continue.

Interests

Theatre, cross-stitching, saving lives, making friends, drinking IPAs, living downtown, urban exploration, hiking, dog park and long trips with my dog,

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm one of those people that has not one, not two, but three copies of Shakespeare's Complete Works. So there's that.

I'll take most suggestions with all three--my main criteria, especially with music, is I don't like to be yelled at. Anything else is fair game :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed a mountain in Alaska and just screamed when i got to the top. Let out all the aggression... there's something purifying about being hours away from populated areas, working hard to climb as high as you can, and just enjoying the silence. Traveling is so very cleansing, and it puts life in perspective. None of your problems are ever that bad or unmanageable... just another challenge to be tackled. What's your best cathartic travel moment?

Teach, Learn, Share

Try to explore using cleaning products other than bleach and shit that is harmful to you. If you use pure vinegar and spray it on a surface, it disinfects it in 60 seconds. AND you can spray it around your food. Let's try to take care of ourselves a little better and stop putting harmful crap in our bodies. YEAH! *high, cheesy fist pump*

What I Can Share with Hosts

I offer great conversation and excellent connection opportunities. My number one skill is matching people with the right resources, so if you help me, I will go to solid lengths to return the favor when you're in my area.
