CURRENT MISSION

Living my life away and embracing the detours!

ABOUT ME

Overall pretty happy with life and where I am in this crazy world, wouldn't change anything :)

Los Angeles native but San Francisco transplant for the past 7 years. I venture forth every year or so.

In 2009 lived in the Netherlands for a year and traveled as much as I can (10+ countries in a year). That is when I started Couchsurfing!

In 2012 I backpacked in South America for 4 months with 2 of my best friends. The three of us Couchsurfed the majority of the trip and had the most amazing time. I could not imagine our trip without the amazing hosts and locals we met.

The travel bug has caught me again, so this past September, I decided to quit my beloved SF marketing job and explore once more. I will be in Australia and Asia for the next 6 months. Woot!

Now all I have is a one-way ticket, my backpack, and hopefully enough mula to last. Although I will be flying solo, I am planning to meet some friendly people along the way.

I can't wait to see what lies ahead.

PHILOSOPHY

- Cogito ergo sum

- You are the true leader of your destiny

- Time rules all

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Live and let live!

I've had life changing experiences with Couchsurfing in a foreign place where I don't know anyone and CSers have took me in as their own and showed me an amazing time. So I just try to do the same.

I host a lot in San Francisco, my house feels like a hostel!
