Colorado
I’ve been a resident of Colorado since 2017 – I’m happy to call Denver and Colorado home! I chose to make Colorado my new home base because I wanted a new place to explore. I’ve spent years doing just that…exploring all over Colorado whenever I could.
I hit the hiking trails and horse trails, visited all of Colorado’s National Parks, summited 14ers, traveled by train across the state, snowshoed, cycled, and rafted through the Rocky Mountains.
I know Denver best, but I also have spent plenty of weekends in Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and Grand Junction. I have a mad love for mountain towns too – especially Crested Butte, Buena Vista, Salida, Steamboat Springs, and places a little less known in Colorado.
