CURRENT MISSION

To expand my worldly perspectives and meet people from all walks of life.

ABOUT ME

I am fresh out of high school and ready to break through my bubble in Los Angeles. I am a supporter of farmers markets, foreign food + cinema, and polaroid pictures. I'm going to school to study Speech and Language Pathology - I'm really aiming at working with autistic and deaf children. I occupy my time dancing at shows, lazing at the beach, riding my bicycle, and making friends with strangers.

I want to meet people who are passionate about their hobbies and interests and those who are really doing things. I'm brand new to Couch Surfing, but I am already hooked on the idea and plan to have my one last hoorah before parting ways for college, in the form of a West Coast mini-trip with my best friend Megan. Please let us stay with you! :]

PHILOSOPHY

"Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am unable to host at the moment (although I might be able to in the fall when I move to Santa Barbara)but am very interested in traveling within the CS community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None - but this will change as of August 29th!

Interests

I want to play your music, I want to eat your native foods, I want to watch your favorite films, I want to groove to your dance moves, I want to swim in your oceans, I want to see your sights, I want to entirely expand my views and ideals and feel a little bit more connected to this beautiful world.
