About Me

Hey everyone!

I grew up in South Lake Tahoe, CA, a small mountain town in Northern California. I currently live in San Francisco, but I go back and forth between Tahoe and SF a lot! I have lived in California my whole life and love it here, but I am ready to explore another place to live/visit at any time...!

San Francisco is an amazing city with a lot to offer... I had always known that I wanted to live here growing up. Unfortunately, I live with room mates and will not be able to host anyone, but will be happy to meet up and show SF to visitors if I have time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning about other ways of life, culture, and foods around the world. Instead of asking the basic, "what do you do for work?", I ask people about what they LOVE, how they like to spend their time, what their hobbies are, interesting facts about themselves... etc. I love human connection, sharing similar interests, and deep meaningful conversations with people from all corners of the world. I've found inspiration and insight to life through the people I've met through CS and traveling and hope to continue doing so.

Interests

I spend most of my time being VERY active! I love snowboarding, running, YOGA, cycling, rock climbing, exploring, dancing... you name it! I'll show you the beauty of the outdoors, followed by the charm of the bar for drinks and talks

FESTIVALS. Live music... Art... who wants to experience a festival with me!?

Food, nutrition, and a healthy lifestyle is a HUGE part of my life. I studied nutrition in college and am in my dietetic internship to become a registered dietitian at the moment. I'll teach you how to cook some yummy healthy foods :)

Music, science, the mountains, the ocean, laughing, puns (the best!), wine, old fashioneds, sunsets, nature, reading... I am a life long learner and explorer
