I love experiencing things without caution. A new friend, a new restaurant, a new state. I love the ocean and I try to travel to the coast whenever I can. I have a wild passion for the ocean and its incredible creatures. I've never been out of the country because I have yet to commit to getting a passport. I am a sucker for a latte or a bowl of pasta. And I have been trying to turn myself into a spontaneous person since the day I was born. While some things about traveling still stress me out, I'm getting much better at being on my feet. I hope to build a village of much more courageous people to help with that goal

I’m also bisexual, so if queer people are something you have an issue with, move right along.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to find creative ways to get where I want to go, without depleting my bank account. Couchsurfing called to me in a dream. I love people. LOVE them. I love to study them. I truly believe it takes a village, not just while growing up, but while growing in life. I want to make my village as large as possible. The more love, the better.

I don't read as much as I'd like. But I recently listened to "I'm Glad My Mom Died" by Jenette McCurdy. Wonderful story. I'm working on reading more, though. I love non-fiction and super unrealistic fantasy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went cliff jumping! And then I broke my spine. Definitely wouldn't recommend making the 35-footer your first jump.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Did you know that the Ocean Sunfish is the largest bony fish in the sea? It can get up to 6 feet long and 4,000 pounds! I'm not sure if this is what they meant by this, but there you go.

Learn: I want to know what drives you. What motivates you? What gets you the most excited about life? Let me in.

Share: My life story

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can have long conversations (or short ones if I'm feeling grumpy) about the world. If you want to learn English, I can do my best to help with that too. I want to bring extra joy and light into your home. I can cook, bake, and play like 10 chords on the guitar (which you would be surprised, allows me to play almost anything). I will drag you to the beach (if we're near one) and make you get on a boogie board. I really want to learn how to surf.
