About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My goal is to be brave enough to blaze my own trail and live a life full of adventure!

ABOUT ME

I have hosted and surfed-and never met someone I did not like. Sooo many positive experiences with couchsurfing. I have friends around the world-which is amazing.
I have met so many amazing people-people who wanted to have intellectual, back and forth conversations, and people who just wanted to have fun. I love the idea behind couchsurfing-it really does make the world a smaller, more understanding place, I believe. I think it is something that I could potentially be involved with for a very long time.
About me-hmmm-where to begin. I love to travel, and I love to meet new people. I hate the monotony of daily life and am desperately trying to find a good balance between work and play. I love anything outdoors, I love to dance and go out in the city. Any sort of (relatively safe) adventure is what I like. I consider myself open and friendly and ever-evolving. I recently moved to the bay area, which is where I grew up, but all of my old friends have scattered, so I also hope to use couchsurfing to meet some new friends-so far everyone I have met through this site has been wonderful- I look forward to meeting many more of you!

PHILOSOPHY

I want to be happy and make the world a better place. I want to walk the path less traveled.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling in Venezuela and Colombia was incredible. I was challenged to speak Spanish, delighted by a new culture, and enchanted by the incredible beauty of those two countries!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know all about the environment, sustainability, and biology. I have a lot to learn, but I also have a lot to teach. But beware-once I start talking about these things, it is hard to make me stop! :)
