ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in San Diego, California but have lived in the San Francisco bay area for the last 4 years. I spent all of last year living in Argentina and seeing as much of South America as possible. Then some time in Brazil backpacking and six months in Mexico City working. I have a penchant for long, uncomfortable bus rides. I'm constantly looking for new experiences and new people to share them with. I like cooking (and eating!), listening to music, meeting people from other places, speaking Spanish and Portuguese, being outside, lying in parks, scaling mountains, swimming in the ocean and trying anything.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a collection of moments - not all of them have to be happy but the sum of them is hopefully positive. I want my life to be as varied and colorful as possible and I strive to spend as much time as possible outside of my comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
