I am moving to northern India on September 14th, 2015 to teach English to Tibetan Buddhists. It has been my lifelong dream to live a life of travel, and this is my first step towards making my dream a reality. I am a normal, outgoing, intelligent, 25 years old UC San Diego graduate. I work full-time as a Reservation Specialist in Downtown Oakland.

I live by 3 simple principles:
1. Love
2. Travel
3. Help Others

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch-surfing because I am trying to save up as much money as possible before I start my indefinite adventure to teach English abroad. I bought my plane ticket, passport, visas, etc...but unfortunately I don't have a dollar saved yet, I am trying to find a place I could crash while I work full-time. Rent has been killing me, and it would be an absolute GODSEND have free, or extremely discounted rent.

I also would like to meet like minded travelers, because I would love to host you when I have a nice apt in Asia somewhere next year :-)
