About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To start traveling!

ABOUT ME

I was born in raised in Northern California, about 50 miles North of San Francisco. I have been here my entife life and I am ready to see the rest of the world! I'm in my early 30s and I feel like I am just starting to discover life.

I live with my dog and my old kitty in a little old house where I love to cook and do art. I'm in a relationship with a wonderful man that only adds to the joy and beauty that is life. My grandmother traveled frequently in her youth and I long to follow in her footsteps. I am currently a server at a very popular local Italian restaurant and am starting an Etsy store to sell art and jewelry I create and vintage fashion. I'm in love with life and look forward enlightenment during my travels.

PHILOSOPHY

"To grow as a person will cost you your life-and then will give it back again." This is what I believe in the now that is my now. I have to give it up to the Universe and let go in order to receive the knowledge and the lessons that I am supposed to learn. I live my life in a constant pursuit of happiness and experience. Above all, I am learning to live this life as me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have zero couch surfing experience! That is why I'm here :) I'm a lengthy bus ride (1-2 hrs) from SF but I would love to host for someone who wants to be mellow for a day or two. We have great food and I know all the good thrift spots!

Interests

I love love love art. I am currently taking a figure drawing class and continue to surprise myself every week. I take my camera everywhere because you never know what you will see. I am a writer by my own definition and I have way too many books laying beside my bed. I love the ocean even though I am terrified of water. I blame it on the fact that I'm a Taurus and there is no water in my chart. I want to be interested in traveling, but since I've never traveled I still refer to it as a dream. I have the best friends in the world and that includes my cat. I am obsessed with movies and useless trivia. I am a crafta-thrifta-do-it-yourself-aholic and I hope to create beautiful things when I grow up.

Music, Movies, and Books

This list could get epic, so I will just start with the basics.Movies: Anything made by John Hughes and most 80s movies involving teen angst or unrequited love (Valley Girl), Safety Not Guaranteed, Celeste and Jesse Forever, movies with drag queens ie. To Wong Foo, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Motorcycle Diaries,The Virgin Suicides, Jawbreaker, pretty much anything involving Zooey Deschanel or Joseph Gordon Levitt (together or apart), this list really could go on forever... Books: ANYTHING by David Sedaris, my guilty pleasure is the Hunger Games series, Water For Elephants (book only thank you very much), Youth in Revolt (again, book only). Music: I tend to enjoy music from another time. I love the Talking Heads, The Pixies (I call a 20 hr car ride to Vegas for a show true dedication), any band from the Valley Girl soundtrack, newer school I love Florence + The Machine, Macklemore and The Alabama Shakes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen a perfect sunset. I know what it means to be and to have a true friend. I have loved whole heartedly and have been loved whole heartedly.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn to be an international traveler. I want to learn to leave my preconceived notions about the world and its inhabitants behind and gain knowledge from the moment. I want to learn to live in the moment. I know I have a lot to share and to teach, but I never really know until it comes out of my mouth at the perfect time.
