Currently living and working in Orange County/Newport Beach, Ca only a few miles away from the beaches. Work as a Design Engineer and teach sailing on the side.

Born and raised in the States, more particularly Southern California. Although I feel like any campground is home to me.

I am a super clean, respectful and like to think I’m funny. Get along with practically everyone and will always find something to do to entertain myself. I’m a patient person always up for something new.

I enjoy going on hikes, backpacking, hitting the gym, spending a day sailing, and exploring new places. Anything challenging or advised not to do it…you’ll find me there!

Been lucky enough to travel a good amount of National Parks and the list keeps growing that I want to visit. It has opened my eyes to what is out there and gives me a perspective of how big the world is. I am now getting to a point in my life where I can expand my horizon and travel further and further from my base camp.

My friends call me big mama always looking after for the group and making sure everything goes smooth. I'm a neat freak, patient and will always be honest.

Unfortunately can’t host currently due to my living situation but have hosted in the past with my roommates and it was a great experience, looking to see the flip side of the coin.

I am looking to meet new people and have new experiences in the future! Hope to see you out there!

Never Stop Exploring!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people, hearing their travel stories and sharing their company! I like sharing different life experiences and travelling advice. I think this is one of the best methods for traveling new places you aren't familiar with and making a new friend.

Music, Movies, and Books

Will listen to just about anything, always open to new genres and new artists.

Don't go to the movies or read books as much as I should, but I'm sure there is stuff out there I enjoy. Too busy out exploring nature to find time to finish books, and last time I checked there aren't many theaters in the mountains.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favorite trip was a two week adventure across Alaska with friends from college. Had a good mix of tourist attractions, met some locals, hiked on glaciers and encountered some moose and a bear. while wandering Denali National Park.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure if I can pin point one thing but I'm sure there is a wealth of knowledge that can be exchanged.
