I grew up in North County San Diego and just moved down to Pacific Beach summer of 2014 after college. I currently work in La Jolla doing a research fellowship so that consumes a lot of my life.

PHILOSOPY

“Half of me is filled with bursting words and half of me is painfully shy. I crave solitude yet also crave people. I want to pour life and love into everything yet also nurture my self-care and go gently. I want to live within the rush of primal, intuitive decision, yet also wish to sit and contemplate. This is the messiness of life - that we all carry multitudes, so must sit with the shifts. We are complicated creatures, and ultimately, the balance comes from this understanding. Be water. Flowing, flexible and soft. Subtly powerful and open. Wild and serene. Able to accept all changes, yet still led by the pull of steady tides. It is enough" - Victoria Erickson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't traveled too much and I enjoy traveling alone so it'll nice to have a local to give some advice since I'm such a noob.
