Home base is currently Oakland.

I am a transplant from Florida, and will never (ever) go back. One may even say that I have a clingy, obsessive relationship with California, but it's all out of love, and a desire to make up for all the time I spent in FL...

I love anything that involves being outside -- mostly in or around the water. My new kayak = life.

Coffee, a few good books, and a seat with a good view is all I really need in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly? For the reason the site's main page says: to meet new friends WHILE experiencing new places.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love everything, but have a special place in my heart for Elle Fitzgerald.

My favorite movies are usually any of the ones with a badass woman, spying for the CIA, conning someone out of millions of dollars, or assassinating a mob boss...haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to California with nothing and made my life what it is now.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy cooking, and have been told I'm very good at it. So, I would happily whip up a hearty meal for you.

I'm also a minimalist while traveling, so I don't leave much of a footprint.

Countries I’ve Visited

England, France, Mexico
