ABOUT ME

I first found out about couch surfing when I spent a year studying abroad in Europe. I must say they have been the best experience for me while traveling. I was born in San Jose, California (45 minutes south of San Francisco). I have my degree in International Relations and I've been traveling since leaving the states and love new people, places and all the experiences that come along with it. The travel bug is in me with balls of energy exploding in all directions!

p.s. I'm quirky. I'm happy.

PHILOSOPHY

Be Free.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

All of the above. It's been such a pleasure to be hosted and I love returning the favor in a place that I know well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch Surfing has changed my life in every way that it can. I found out about it through a friend and believe it will change the world in a beautiful way. I love the concept and have met incredible individuals because of it.
