About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be spontaneous and free! Every minute counts!

ABOUT ME

I am an open minded, adventurous, friendly person, who loves to do spontaneous, fun, things, but I also love just chillin' out, whether that be on the beach listening to the waves, or on my bed listening to music. I love people and all that they have to offer. I am a graduating senior in sociology at UC Berkeley. I love the Bay Area where I currently live, the landscape and the people. I'm always looking for fun new things to do and see.

PHILOSOPHY

"Never Sell My Soul Is My Philosophy"

ANYWAY
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway!
If you do good, people will accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway!
If you are successful, you will win
false friends and enemies.
Succeed anyway!
The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway!
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway!
What you spend years building may be
destroyed overnight.
Build anyway!
People really need help
but may attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway!
Give the world the best you have
and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway!

Written by: Mother Teresa

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always willing to allow a traveler to stop by. I know what it is like to be in that position of being in a new place not knowing anyone. I am always open to meet people and have a good time, whether raging through the night or drinking a smoothie having a great conversation. I want to be a comfortable asset for people to reach.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted one of my oldest friends and her friend for a week. It was soooo fun and they told me about their cross-country USA tour through couch surfing. Right away I thought it was the most amazing idea, and now I know that it is pure genius!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I summited Cotopaxi the tallest inactive volcano in Ecuador!. The world is a different place up there. I started with a group hiking up at 12 pm, because the weather roles in during the day. We made it to the top at 7am, one of my proudest moments ever!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love doing yoga and sharing music and worldly ideas. I am very outdoorsy, and could take someone on a backpacking adventure, if your down.
