I've been an Airbnb host for several years, and I'm interested in trying Couch Surfing now. I just learned to surf in Sayulita, Mexico last month so maybe that has something to do with it ;-).

I like cats, but I'm EXTREMELY ALLERGIC, so cats are a deal-breaker for me... thanks for understanding.

I'm trying to live my best life everyday, and be a blessing to myself and those around me. I balance out these noble goals with remembering and embracing my shared humanity. I eat chard and quinoa and also cupcakes and french fries!

I love meeting people who are truly alive to the gratitude to be found within each moment... and who are curious and self aware.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm headed to the Carizzo Plain to try to see wildflowers in the rain on Monday... I need to be in Santa Barbara by lunch on Tuesday to see my daughter at SBCC. I'm interested in staying in Morro Bay or something like that. This will be my first time making my way around those parts, so I'm looking to make it an adventure!
