About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wandering purposefully

ABOUT ME

Grad student, born and raised in California. Love where I live, but am also deeply curious about every other place in the world. Whether it's Kansas or Paris or Sierra Leone, if I haven't been there, I definitely want to see it. So much I could say about traveling and why I love it -- you'll see some bad in people, but you'll also see the very best of them too.

PHILOSOPHY

We may not know why we're here but we're here! So let's make the most of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New to CS but love it already! Before my first CS I had the usual fears, but now it's become my go-to way of travel. Looking forward to hosting as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great ones. CS'ed through a road trip through the US south and met some of the nicest, most welcoming, most interesting people who provided me with such a sense for the local eats, history, and culture.

Interests

Reading, writing, traveling, hiking, water sports, deep conversations late into the night.
