I am friendly, creative and curious, always trying to understand myself and the world around me better. I teach English and Spanish during the school year and guide whitewater rafting trips in California during the summer. It's pretty greta :) I also write fiction, play guitar, read a lot and I'm getting into yoga. I've traveled quite a bit, but I feel like there is so much more to see. I am a seeker of truth and wisdom, and believe we can learn something from every person we meet and every situation we find ourselves in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, experience new cultures, make lasting connections and collaborate on art projects!
