I’ve spent much of my life roaming the globe. I’m based in Elk Grove, California. I could show you the beauties of this land by taking you to wine trails, hidden beaches, serene lakes, and winding forest roads. And that's just in NorCal.

I’ve worked in humanitarian aid and non-profits, and (like many Silicon Valley kids) eventually made my way into the tech world. What keeps me going is curiosity — meeting people who see life as a playground for ideas, experiences, and the occasional ridiculous road trip.

Fun Facts about me:

Once accidentally joined a HUGE wedding party in a country I’d never been to. With dusty pants and muddy shoes! What a night!
Have a running list of “places to see before they disappear” — and I’m happy to share it.
I never say no to a detour… unless it’s to a mall! Some of the best places I have found was while getting intentionally lost.
Can pack a bag in under 7 minutes, but still forget at least one important thing, lol.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I joined Couchsurfing back in 2018, I never really dove in headfirst. It was on the backburner for multiple years.

But over the years, I’ve met a handful of travelers through this community, and every encounter left me energized and inspired. As a result, I’m making a conscious effort to be more active here. I got no set expectations, just curiosity about where the next journey might lead me.
