About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Saying yes!

ABOUT ME

I'm always down for an adventure and really like finding something new or seeing something I've known about for a long time in a new way. I hope to always keep my curiosity alive.

PHILOSOPHY

"I fight with love, and I laugh with rage, you've got to live light enough to see some humor, and long enough to see some change." -Ani Difranco

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love this project for connecting people around the world. I'm currently traveling and hope to expand my experience by couchsurfing along the way. I will return the favor as soon as I'm back in the San Francisco Bay Area and have a couch to offer!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Though relatively new to couch surfing, I have been hosted in various ways throughout my travels by wonderful people and feel forever better for those experiences. I love couch surfing for helping people make those more meaningful connections happen. I hope to meet some cool people through this venue and make friends all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Run through the glistening streets of Dubrovnik, Croatia at 4am, felt like a story book. Climbed to the top of Macchu Picchu at sunrise surrounded by clouds. Deep water solo-ed in Halong Bay, Vietnam. Survived some insanely over packed, long, and tumultuous bus rides through South America and South East Asia.
More...stories to be shared...

Teach, Learn, Share
