CURRENT MISSION

Cross-country road trip. I want to see the states!

ABOUT ME

I am a college student looking to see as much of the world as I can while I'm young. Because college students are poor, couch surfing is an excellent way for people like me to be able to travel (without paying an arm and a leg). I am work-oriented, friendly, goofy, easy-going, low-maintenance, and open-minded. I have two brothers and I've lived in California, Idaho, and Arizona. California is my favorite state (we have the beach, the snow, Berkeley, San Francisco, Los Angeles, warm weather...what more could I ask for?!), but I still want to see the rest of them. I'm a Cal student and I love my school and my city. I'm an English major hoping to make it in the world of journalism someday.

PHILOSOPHY

"To thine own self be true." -Shakespeare
Sure, it's cliche. But it's powerful, and I follow it as closely as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking to surf! I am new to the CS world, but I am appreciative of what it has to offer and I'm excited to begin my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None! But I am anxious to make new experiences! :)

Interests

I love the beach, snowboarding, running, ballet, reading, writing, and (obviously) traveling. I'm a cat person but I have an adorable Cockerspaniel, so dogs can be cool too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kayaked in Mexico. It may not sound like the most exciting of adventures, but it was an experience I'll never forget.
