ABOUT ME

Hello! I recently graduated from UCSB with a double major in environmental and religious studies and am moving to East Lansing, Michigan to begin a new chapter in my life. I love dancing, cooking, being in nature, and planning community events.

PHILOSOPHY

Being nice is way easier than being mean.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a huge fan of the sharing knowledge and experiences with others. In the past, I have been both a host and a surfer in the USA.

Interests

My biggest passion is nourishing people with delicious food. I am an avid cook that loves experimenting. In my spare time I enjoy setting up house shows for traveling bands. Recently I put together various diy festivals with specific emotional themes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied gamelan music for 3 years and can teach you about the various instruments and what is going on when you listen to a song. I can teach you lots of culinary skills including knife skills, safety and sanitation, vegan tricks, and my go-to recipes. If English is not your first language we can also practice and I can share with you many California slang words.

I'd love to practice Spanish, learn new recipes, and any wilderness skills you may have.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you are staying in the common space, you will need to give me a couple weeks notice in order for me to get house approval. There are couches in the living room and kitchen that are cozy to sleep on.
