ABOUT ME
I really love to travel although I haven't had the chance in a while. I like to meet interesting, fun, open-minded people, and I like to have a good time. I love the outdoors. I have 2 very friendly dogs and a wonderful boyfriend. I like the desert, jungle, mountains and ocean, city. I like new experiences.
PHILOSOPHY
My goal is to have fun as much as possible, but also to achieve and accomplish. I treat all beings (people and animals) with kindness and respect until they give me reason not to. I like adventure.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I sometimes drop into the crazy CS parties her in SoCAl and participate whenever possible. As a host, I have a futon and a couch. I also have a garage that has been turned into a study, if you prefer that (it comes with heater, fan, internet and all the comforts of a...non-garage). I have a backyard with a bbq, and live walking distance to bars and restaurants and about half an hour drive to the beach. I will be more than happy to show you what I know of Southern California, although I am relatively new here. I can also share my meals and such, go hiking, biking, and am generally down for whatever.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Only to Hawaii, and had my first couchsurfer recently. Both great!

Music, Movies, and Books
So many, I always have a hard time choosing when asked this type of question. I like Sci-fi, action, or character-driven stories. I like rock, hip-hop, electronic, folky stuff, flamenco, you name it.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Jumped off a peak in the Swiss alps over white water rapids (kinda like a bungee jump, but a little different). This always comes to mind because it was such a thrill and extremely beautiful at the same time.
Teach, Learn, Share
Jewelry-making, salsa-dancing. Vegan cooking. If you need a story to help you fall asleep, I can always tell you about geology or the environment.
