CURRENT MISSION

Trying to tame my serious wanderlust...

ABOUT ME
California girl always on the move.

I love accents, learning about other cultures, and meeting new people, so chances are I love you already. My life and travels have taken me through 4 continents and countless countries and stories in between.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever it is you’re seeking won’t come in the form you’re expecting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After a long time off Couchsurfing, I'm just getting started once again. Due to my roommate situation, I am unable to host but I am available to have coffee and show visitors around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been lucky enough to couchsurf before in Berlin, Barcelona, and Copenhagen and had a wonderful time. (For some reason, my profile was locked for a while and my references are no longer on the site from what I can tell)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Amelie, anything by Pedro Almodovar, L'Auberge Espagnole, Clueless, Bridesmaids, Y Tu Mama Tambien, A Very Long Engagement, Oldboy (the original), Muriel's Wedding, and many, many more.

As for books, I have a serious reading addiction (Fun fact: I learned English by reading romance novels). First and foremost, Pablo Neruda rocks my world. I also love: Anything by Haruki Murakami .One Hundred Years of Solitude, Love in the Times of Cholera, The House of the Spirits. This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Diaz changed my life.
