CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and meet amazing people

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26 year old grad from California State University, Fresno. I got my start with CS Fall '11 when I studied at a business school in Poitiers, France. While I was studying I got to travel to quite a few places and met some awesome CSers along the way.
I'm currently living in a great little neighborhood in Seattle, great for going out to bars, restaurants, the cinema, and even 10 minutes by car from a beach with snowy-mountain views.
It's hard to sum myself up, but to start, I am a fairly laid-back person who loves reading, art, poetry and photography. Unlike most anti-social bookworms, however, I also love going out to parties, and meeting new people whenever possible. I was a member of a social sorority, which means I know how to have a good time and am pro at remembering names.I love to let loose and try lots of new things while I'm abroad or on vacation. I've still only been hosted a few times, but I can't wait to travel and do it some more!

PHILOSOPHY

I know that life is short. I want to travel the world and experience absolutely everything I can.(With that being said I'm also a vegetarian, so I probably will not be experiencing the meaty things in life.)I love learning new things, and look forward to getting to learn and see things first hand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met CSers in four different countries so far, and all of my experiences were super memorable and fun and I wouldn't trade them for the world. Getting to meet people with different backgrounds, and sometimes different native languages and expanding your knowledge and horizons is what CS is all about, so I love it :)
