CURRENT MISSION

On a clockwise Adventure through Spain to enjoy nature, see new things and remember how to draw

ABOUT ME

I know I have no references but this is my first time surfing, I promise to be trustworthy!
I am so excited to be roaming in this crazy world! I have many interests, expecially cooking, art, wine, music and having adventures with new friends! I always knew my small town in the redwood forests of California was too small for me, and I am traveling outside the states for the first time. I am a bit of a beach hippie and would love to explore outside, or in these beautiful old Spanish cities. At home I was known for my hugs, meaningful conversations, my sense of humor, and my good cooking. I can promise I will be an interesting and helpful friend, and I will always do the dishes.

PHILOSOPHY

I decided to come to Spain to remember who I am, how to live and love and make art before I dive into grad school.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just began my 3-month journey all around Spain. I have never been in a foreign country before, and I am very excited by all the beauty I see around me here. However, one of the farms I had been planning to work on cancelled, so I have turned to CS Project in a last minute emergency, hoping to find a place to stay!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I lived in a 127 person collective housing co-op during my education in Berkeley. As a house we hosted dozens of couchsurfers, including a girl from France who loved us so much she never went home!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I don´t watch movies or television very much at all, but I did like The Lives of Others, Darjeeling Limited, Harold and Maude, and Baraka.
Music: folk, techno, motown, I love experiencing new sounds. Current favorites are Devendra Banhart and Four Tet.
Books: Alice in Wonderland is my favorite book. I love reading, favorite authors: Tom Robbins, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, J.R.R. Tolkien....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going off a rope swing over a lake, only to have the rope be a bungee cord that was like a slingshot, I flew 50 meters in the air. I have seen a lot of beautiful places backpacking in the States, especially the Puget Sound in Washington state.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a VERY good cook! I cooked professionally for years. I also give good massages, my father is a professor of medical massage. Lots of skills, jack of all trades really, including building, gardening, sewing, yoga, but the first two are probably the two most important.
