I grew up in San Diego, went to college in rural Washington, was in an intensive teaching program last year in east San Jose, realized I didn't want to be a teacher, and now I am traveling!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My girlfriend and I are going on a cross country road trip from Nov 1 till around Christmas. We are staying with friends and family for most of the way, but there are some gaps where neither of us know anyone. And so we would love to use your couch for a night!
