Born in Northern California and currently live in the town of Chico. I consider myself an environmental activist and community builder. I organize a local group called Social Stewards where I connect people through events such as park clean-ups/restoration, meditations, communication workshops and more!

I have done quite a bit of traveling, but I desire to make my focus more about meeting locals, learning new perspectives and lifestyles.

I thrive on new connections and one-on-one conversations. I've a curious mind and a good active listener.
I have a lot to say when I'm happy. (And stoned 😉)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of sharing the space of the locals of the areas I'm visiting and hope to meet wonderful people and share experiences. Is there any better way to get to know a place? When in Rome...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a year living in Spain and studying the Spanish language, culture and history under local professors. This also allowed for many adventures through Europe including a 2 week backpacking trip by train.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always looking for opportunities to strengthen my Spanish skills and I enjoy language exchange.

I'm learning what it means to truly belong, rather than 'fitting in'.

I've gone on many adventures and enjoy sharing stories of my experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A desire to learn, share my perspective and loving kindness. An adventure companion and a conduit into other parts of the world.
