About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See. Eat. Share. Travel.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in sunny California. Definitely a California girl. I am also trying to become an honorary Aussie as I am about to marry one.
I love to chat with interesting people. It's a favorite pastime of mine.
I love eating mostly vegetarian and watching comic book movies.
I am open to new experiences and usually thrilled about them as well.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life in the most meaningful way possible while being kind and sincere.
Keeping healthy and listening to my body.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think of Couch Surfing not as a free place to stay, but as a cultural exchange. I am thrilled to know more about people all over the world and for them to know me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a fantastic house guest. I always leave places better than I found them.
I also love talking and getting to know my hosts, not just having a place to stay.
Couchsurfing is honestly one of the most wonderful things that I have ever done and I am so appreciative for it!

Interests

I am a total nerd when it comes to movies and books.
I love science fiction and fantasy. And bring on the comic book thrillers!

I love music festivals and any form of live music.
I love doing bikram yoga!

I love to go out and have drinks in the city, but I also love to kick back and relax at home.

I thoroughly enjoy a good hike, and witnessing the wonders of nature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park in California. There is quite a view from up there. Breathtaking.

I also have snorkeled in the Great Barrier
Reef with my partner. That was a once in a lifetime experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anyone who is open enough to share their ideas and willing to hear mine is good in my books. I love good conversation, and I love hearing all about where people are from and what adventures they have had that have helped shape their lives!
