About Me

CURRENT MISSION
August 2019: leaving my job, leaving my home in San Francisco and will be traveling for the next 3-6 months all around the world. I have no itinerary and will go wherever the wind takes me. I want to find my passion, meet beautiful souls and hopefully figure out what I want in life. Looking to find hosts so I can stretch my funds to keep traveling.

ABOUT ME

This is going to sound cliche but it is what it is - I'm an open-minded and easy going person. I can go a day without talking to anyone and I can be the life of the party another day. I don't let the little things bother me, why waste my time? I try my best to think positively of every situation.

At the end of the day, my philosophy is that - every single person, the 7 billion people, in this world are different. You can't put people into boxes/categories. We all have different experiences, perspectives, outlooks, morals, beliefs, etc. This is why I love the idea behind CS...it gives all of us opportunities to meet awesome, like-minded people around the WORLD!

PHILOSOPHY

I truly believe that you must love yourself before you can love others but at the same time, by giving unconditional compassion and gratitude to others, you can then achieve your own inner happiness and love. Basically, love conquers all!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed for the first time in 2013, in Japan. It was a last minute trip and I went by myself. Found some hosts and they were AWESOME. I couldn't have asked for a better first CS experience. Now all I want to do is travel and surf!

Once I figure out where I'm moving to next, I definitely plan on hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love the concept! Why pay multi-million dollar establishments, when you can travel for free and meet all the awesome beautiful people that reside in this world!

Interests

I like to read, watch movies online, knit, I love to eat and attempt to cook, I'm down to try ANYTHING at least once and I love to go out drinking and have a great time w/my friends and meeting new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I seriously listen to most everything, I'm pretty old at heart so my first choices would be jazz, Frank Sinatra, Diana Krall and the likes...I also love to dance so I like EDM, hip-hop, pop, and gotta love the 80s! To name a few more: Lana Del Rey, Cut Copy, Catpower, Metric, The XX, The Four Seasons...

Movies I've seen lately: Detachment, Pianist, Sidewalls, Romantics Anonymous...just random movies I find online

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just life in general amazes me...all the different personalities and characters out there makes this world an endless box of goodies!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm just learning how to knit! Seems like a "grandma" thing to do but it's not! Who doesn't need a scarf from time to time?! The idea of making my own excites me!
