I grew up in San Diego and Santa Barbara in California. I've always been near the ocean and love surfing, paddling, diving- I've also played field hockey and soccer. I'm very kind, compassionate, and social, and appreciate a good sense of humor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ive had amazing experiences traveling and staying with locals as well as hosting travelers. It’s an awesome community that really adds to the richness of a traveling experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hunter s Thomson, Henry David Thoreau, Kurt Vonnegut, most anything classic rock, jazz, reggae, blues, ambient, acoustic etc. I love Disney movies ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paddling over 40 miles in one day, designing and building a tiny house, learning to ride a motorcycle in vietnam, completed the JMT solo. Ok that’s more than 1 thing, not to toot my own horn but toot toot.
