I'm 30 years old and was born and raised in Central California. I'm quite nerdy and proud of it. I'm a laid back person and I believe in being exactly who you are, so I'm very upfront and honest about myself (should you have any questions). I believe in respecting others and their homes/property/beliefs. I think I have a great sense of humor (look at my photos if you need proof) and I love to laugh. I can't wait to see more of the world, and hopefull couchsurfing will help me do that!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I was a teenager, I have wanted to travel. Travel is everything to me. Now that I've hit my thirties, I've had something of a crisis and realized I needed to get off my ass if I was ever going to get to see all the places I want to visit. I would love to meet new and interesting people along the way who are up to sharing their stories and showing me places off the beaten path. Extra points to you if you show me some weird and/or macabre places!

Interests

Travel (obviously), pop culture, music, movies, TV, anything odd or somewhat macabre, medical oddities, making metal stamped jewelry, trying to get myself out of my comfort zone to try some new things

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some of my favorites? Looking up at the ceiling at the Sistine Chapel, dressing up as Shaun from Shaun of the Dead at San Diego Comic-Con, being in the crowd in Times Square on New Year's Eve in NYC to watch the ball drop, meeting Kathleen Hanna and having her hand her mic to me to sing at a Le Tigre concert
