CURRENT MISSION

to find myself in new beautiful experiences and to create something amazing out of my life

ABOUT ME

After graduating university 2 years ago, the one thing I knew was that there was no way I was ready to settle anywhere for any particular career field. So I moved to Tel Aviv Israel for 5 months doing an internship program and now I'm travelling Europe. I found myself in Berlin during my travels and decided that was exactly where I needed to be living. I'm staying for another month then I'm finally returning home (after 6 years away) to California.

PHILOSOPHY

I have very strong convictions but I believe in fluidity of thought above all else. I'm a feminist, open-minded, sex-positive and sort of a socialist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just started my couchsurfing journey. I love new experiences and meeting different people from all walks of life and the world and couchsurfing is the perfect way to do this. Once I have a semi-permanent t location I will definitely start hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only had very positive experiences with couchsurfing thus far and I want it to continue as such!

Interests

I've been dancing west coast swing for about 5 years now and its my favorite thing to do. I love art in general, I love having new experiences and meeting great new people. I'm usually a person to say yes to most opportunities life hands me. I love stand-up comedy, live music, any type of partner dancing (esp, blues dancing and west coast swing), eating different foods, and drinking beer :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In my travels I've experienced many epic things like caving in Hungary, been hit on going through the check point between Palestine and Israel, danced with many people who don't speak a word of the same language as I, made life long friends from all over the world. When all that is said and done the most amazing thing I've done in my travels is hold my baby neice in my arms in France.
