CURRENT MISSION

Personal Expansion. Travel, experiencing new things. Meeting inspiring people and being alive! Soaking in as much of this world as I can!

ABOUT ME

I Couchsurfed a lot when I was younger and traveling the world. A lot of this information on my profile is from those times, years ago! I took a long break from traveling to do some "adult" stuff like grad school and career... but I am excited to be back traveling and on Couchsurfing, to meet some new and wonderful people along the way :)

I love to travel and widen my horizons by always being open to new experiences.

Born and raised in California but have done a lot of traveling, and will continue to do so. The world is big and complex and we can learn a lot from our interactions with it and its people :)

appreciate every moment and never stop being curious because curiosity keeps us interested, and interestING

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to share stories, ideas, experiences, and geeking out on science and music. Cooking great food and getting into philosophical conversations. Sharing happiness and humor with others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with some wonderful hosts around the world. I love couchsurfing because I have the chance to meet people from all corners of the world, and learn from them and share connections. I hope to someday have a home to host to other surfers!

Interests

Books. Hikes. Travel. Art. Nature. TEA! (Coffee is also good). Exploring cities. Roller skating. Aerial arts and acrobatics. Trying to do handstands (still can't). Science, biology and environmentalism. Being self-sufficient in the world. Being wacky.

Laughing until it hurts. Deep conversations with people of all characters. Meaningful moments of solitude. Soaking in every moment of life.
