About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Current mission is to explore this vast world and, most importantly, hear the incredible stories of the people who inhabit it. I recently graduated with a B.A. in public relations and am on a mission to live/work in California.

ABOUT ME

35 days is the deadline I gave to myself to move to California. I grew up in Orlando, Florida and went to school at the University of South Florida in Tampa, but knew my next calling was taking me west.

After I got my B.A. in public relations — and having some of the most incredible years of my life while in college — I packed up my litte Jetta and drove out with my mom. I had no guarantees except for a job at a surf shop. I’ve now been living in Orange County since September 2011.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to love and respect others. I like to have fun, and like to learn what other people have to say.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met up with a few people through CouchSurfing and stayed with one person. I haven't hosted yet, but am definitely open to it if the situation works out.

Interests

Meeting new people, surfing, going out to clubs/dancing, riding my fixie bike (hope to play bike polo soon).

  • concerts
  • dancing
  • clubbing
  • shopping
  • cycling
  • surfing
  • bike polo

Music, Movies, and Books

Michael Jackson = #1. Open to almost all sounds and rhythms, whether it's Lady Gaga or Ray Barbee or Calvin Harris or Switchfoot. Harry Potter fan, books first then the movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got a one-way flight to Orange County, California without any idea of what to expect. Didn't know where I was going to live and, incredibly, the 3-month trip was a blast! Camped in San Onofre, biked to my internship, surfed in Ventura, free Switchfoot concert in Encinitas... and the list goes on.
