​Hello, friends!

My name is Julia Gauvain, and I am your go-to Colorado CO.panion! I was born in St. Louis, MO, but I've spent the majority of my life here in Colorado. So, although I can't say I'm a Colorado native, I still consider myself to be extremely knowledgeable about the state that I'm lucky to call my home. I am currently studying Forestry and Criminal Justice at Colorado State University in Fort Collins; my dream job is to be a park ranger! I've always been extremely passionate about the outdoors, and within the last few years, developed a huge interest in planning trips for people. While attending college in Missouri, I joined a backpacking club, and helped to plan lots of events/trips for them; that's where I really discovered that I had this passion! So I decided to create CO.panion to help share my love of planning trips for people. I hope you enjoy exploring my website; feel free to reach out with any questions!
