CURRENT MISSION

to become more than who i am

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Orange County, was an art major in San Diego, worked in Los Angeles, and now I am in Nice, France in a business graduate program. After here I move to San Francisco. I am all about traveling and have been to about 10 countries in the last year. I live to explore, am open-minded, and like to connect with people who are passionate about travel, food, and doing good deeds.

PHILOSOPHY

Do more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just heard about this through a friend the other day, and was immediately interested!

Interests

Taking a million pictures and hoping that a few come out brilliant. Food - I will eat anything! Except raw walnuts. A nerd at heart, I'm a little techy, I freelance web design. Music - gets me going, calms me down, inspires. Being outdoors, connecting with nature, romping through forests. Risky adventures, feeling invincible. I love my whiskey and beers. I love being turned on to new music and art, going to shows, and wandering into small galleries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with whale sharks was a magical, humbling dream come true for me!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty awesome at frying up dumplings. I love packing and moving, and I'm a lot stronger than one would expect. I can help you make a website, edit photos, solve PC tech probs, arrange flowers, and color coordinate your closet! I'm also eBay queen and can help you get started buying and selling on eBay - it's all about saving money, making money, and reducing waste. I went to bartending school this past summer, just haven't settled down in any area long enough to work as one yet! But I can still teach you how to make some mean drinks.
