Just a Cali girl trying to see the world every chance she gets!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simply put, to meet people from all over the world and to share our own unique experiences and perspectives with each other.

I don't exactly remember how I heard about CS, but I wish I knew about it sooner.

I don't care about luxury hotels, tour guide packages, or fancy souvenirs. I could care less about sightseeing. To me, these things actually keep you from truly experiencing the culture of a country. I find nothing more precious than sharing a conversation over a cup of coffee with a stranger from the other side of the world, or being invited into someone's home and sharing a meal together. It's the people that matter to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once tried to crash a wedding in Colombia with a couple of friends by pretending to be American anthropologists (spoiler alert: it failed).

Accidentally wandered into the red lights district of Tokyo while walking through the city at night.

While traveling through Japan I met an older woman who greatly inspired me by her life story and I ended up following her to China to do humanitarian work together.

I spent a year and a half traveling through India.
