I am a 25 year old graphic designer/swing dancer living in Orange County with the coolest husband in the world. More than anything, I love Jesus and learning more what it means to follow him. I'm super easy going and love meeting new people!

PHILOSOPHY

"Our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased."
(C. S. Lewis)

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
(Teddy Roosevelt)

Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
(Proverbs 4:7)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I couchsurf almost entirely for going to swing dance festivals around the country.

My favorite ways to spend time are doing new things with friends and having deep talks about life, spending hours watching videos of swing dance routines, working as a graphic designer in Southern California, and going on travel adventures with my husband!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Some of my favorite moments have been- doing social work and a study abroad in Ghana, West Africa (Spring, 2010), realizing swing dancing is what jazz music was made for (2008), and most of all, learning more about Jesus (1989-present).

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I am interested in hosting girls from outside Southern California, and especially from outside the US! (For now, I'm only looking to host females.) Because our apartment is such close quarters, we're only looking to host for 1-3 days at a time.

My and my husband's one bedroom apartment in Irvine is super tiny, but very comfortable and clean. You would sleep on our queen blow up mattress in our living room and are free to use the community pool, sauna, jacuzzi, or gym.
