ABOUT ME

I recently moved back to Cali after living abroad in Japan and Costa Rica...The transition is a difficult one, and I'm trying my best to work through the challenges it's bringing...I LOVE Couch Surfing, and the experiences it's brought to my life in the last year are immeasureable!! I work a lot, but if you know you're gonna' be in santa cruz and want to meet some CS'ers, let me know!!

PHILOSOPHY

where you are is just where you ought to be

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I LOVE Couch Surfing...besides meeting travelers and being an ambassador to my home town (where ever that may be!), I love the community that CS brings...Santa Cruzians- let's do this!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently participated in a 'Couch Exchange' with a great couple in NY. They stayed at my place for a week, while I stayed at theirs. One more grace that CS has created! Besides our CS community in Costa Rica, I've only hosted surfers. My old roommate/soul sista', Mariana, and I hosted some excellent people, and we made some life long friends. Fun and special times past, present, and future!
