I am a San Francisco Bay Area native and recent graduate from UC Santa Barbara. I hope to work as I travel to save money and better experience other cultures. Advice on finding jobs welcome. I am happy to get my hands dirty, love being outdoors, working with animals, cooking, building, gardening, etc. I have a very "try anything (at least) once" mentality and will be traveling spontaneously and flexibly as much as possible. Other interests include yoga, volleyball, hiking, swimming, squash, climbing

As I travel, I hope to learn as much as possible about the history and food of the places I visit. Traditional cooking lessons welcome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make my travels last as long as possible, and experience the places I visit in the most authentic way that I can. Traveling alone allows me a lot of flexibility, but I could also use companionship and travel tips when arriving to a new location. I value the insight that is seeing someone's day to day life in what is, to me, a foreign place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn as much about local food as I can. I am also learning the harmonica. Would love to share art, yoga, nightlife, and outdoor adventure.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am eager to learn and experience. I am a willing helper with cooking and household chores, meticulous cleaner, and college graduate able to teach English and basic history. I have experience in sales and social media marketing and could be helpful to a small business.
