I'm a freelance geographer and writer based out of Denver, Colorado in the USA. Countries I've lived outside of the US are South Korea, Germany, France, and England. In 2013 I backpacked England, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. I love traveling creatively with tight budgets and I love meeting fellow nomads. When I'm able to host, it has always been a pleasure to host other travelers and support in any ways that I can with their adventures.

Even when I'm not hosting, I'm always open as a resource so messages from anybody are always welcome!

Bí go maith!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting great Surfers is a huge joy of mine. When I'm able, I love to host and I read and respond to everyone's requests, even if it's simply serving as a resource. In Denver, I try to attend occasional CS meetups and events to meet fellow travelers, and when I'm traveling CS events tend to be a go-to to connect and network.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Years of hosting (CS and non-CS grapevine-networks) with a handful of wonderful people. I've surfed in several locations in the States, and more abroad.
