born and raised in California. graduated from university in 2012. worked for a year and a half to save some money so I could travel. this is my first big trip away from home. the question I get most is 'why did you leave? California is so beautiful' although this is true, I don't believe life is meant to be spent in one place. I want to see as much of the world as I can. I love learning from new people and new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

when I am in a new place I love to see it for all its worth and I think the best way to do that is to ask the people who live there. hoping to meet friendly people who wouldn't mind letting me in on the local secrets! also, I'm on a budget ..

Interests

I love the outdoors! hiking, trekking, kayaking, biking, camping- anything that gets me in the fresh air!!
I love to eat- I think good food has a special way of bringing people together. for that reason I also like to cook, but I'm no culinary expert

Music, Movies, and Books

music- I love funk/soul, Motown, oldies. but I also love some new electronic music, as long as it's something I can groove to (emancipator) I listen to a bit of everything

not really a movie person- I have the tendency to fall asleep :p

fave books- the alchemist, Kane and able
