CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest- which to me means following my hearts desires no matter what anyone else thinks!

ABOUT ME

Im complex, free minded, big-hearted! A FOODIE!!!! I'm Native American- Morongo Band of Mission Indians is my tribe. I am healthy, creative, dedicated.

I volunteer-manage a Non Profit that provides small loans and vocational training to women in Ghana. We strive to give them the access to tools to be financially independent!

I love to try new things... I'm just getting into Salsa dancing, taking weekly lessons, learning website and graphic design on the side before going back to school to persure an MBA in environmentally and socially conscious business development.

PHILOSOPHY

"It's not often we regret the things we do... when we look back it's the things we didn't do that we regret..."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I am settled I am willing to host any traveler, but for now surfing and attending CS events is how I participate! The best experiences I have had in my travel says have been because locals took me under their wing and showed me the real feel of where they live.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed in Paris, Corsica, Arles, and Rome. EAch time was an amazing experience. I have attended CS events and plan to surf more this summer before moving back to the States.

Interests

Living life! I love experiencing life in other places where quality of life is valued and life is lived at a enjoyable pace.

Cooking, eating, learning about food.

I love to be outside. Rivers, lakes, mountains, beaches, in the country or sitting in a sunny spot at a cafe people watching.
