I am a recent MA grad working in Speech and Language Pathology in Rancho Cucamonga, CA after living in Anchorage, AK for a couple years. I've lived most of my life in Southern California and love it there, but Alaska is also pretty amazing. I also have family in the San Francisco bay area, and have lived there for a couple of years.

When I'm not working or in school, I enjoy working with computers, playing my guitar, reading (non-fiction and fiction), staying active at the gym or hiking, camping, playing and watching ice hockey, and nerding around on various subjects. And of course, traveling!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently learned about couchsurfing, and the idea of having a network of travelers getting to know one another and helping each other out sounded pretty cool! I enjoy traveling and learning about the world, and being able to both provide a place for other travelers to stay, and meet new hosts and friends while I'm on the road sounds pretty exciting.
