911 Dispatcher, avid hiker, former hitchhiker—born and raised in New Orleans, now living in Los Angeles.

I’m endlessly curious about people. One of my favorite things in the world is watching someone light up when they talk about what they love. We all have these wildly different passions, and I’m fascinated by the things people dedicate their lives to that I’ve never even heard of.

I’m a jack of all trades, master of none. I love trying new things just for the hell of it—randomly took a fire-eating class the other day.

I’m deeply in love with nature and hiking. Last year I flew to Madeira, Portugal just to do a hike I saw on TikTok. I only had three days, but it was absolutely worth it—I cried at the top.

Solo travel has my heart. It gives me more chances to meet new people and fall into unexpected moments. I’m a big fan of hostels and spontaneous connection.

I’ve been a Couchsurfing member for 9 years. Before I settled down in LA, I surfed across 10+ states on the East Coast, staying with some amazing people. I eventually deleted my old profile, and lost all my data and references, but the memories are still there—like spending Thanksgiving with strangers at a Couchsurfing potluck in Virginia and a sharing a family dinner with a neurologist/beekeeper and his entire family (including grandma ).

Looking forward to more stories, more people, and more of the world.
