CURRENT MISSION

World domination.... just kidding, I just want to make friends all over the world and give them an awesome place to stay when they travel to California

ABOUT ME

I enjoy hanging out with friends, both new and old. Experiencing different cultures and am very interested in understanding where different perspectives derive from. I am a pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in special education with dual licensure in general education. I have held many different jobs, from body piercer, to construction, to retail management.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be so quick to judge people, they may have a different perspective on life that you didn't previously think about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveler, host, guide.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fairly new to CS but it is the most amazing way to travel. Never again will I travel without searching CS first!!!

Interests

As far as interests, I enjoy all kinds of music but I am primarily interested 80's anarcho-punk. I like collecting records, running half marathons (although I haven't been able to lately due to a knee injury), hiking, biking, wakeboarding. I love all animals and have been a vegetarian for over a year.

Music, Movies, and Books

The kiterunner (the book not the movie). Anarcho-punk from the early 1980's. The Big Bang Theory, Cougar Town, How I Met Your Mother, Threesome, plus many more that I can't think of right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done is travelling Europe for four months visited 22 states (9.77%)

Teach, Learn, Share

Just be yourself and love everyone who has accomplished this great feat. Not everyone feels comfortable in their own skin, but perhaps getting to know them for who they are and appreciating them will lead to them appreciating themselves.
