I am a very respectful and a clean house guest and also responsible and reliable. In general, I just like to be around kind and funny people who love to laugh! I'm a social butterfly and LOVE meeting new people and building new friendships! I try my best to go with the flow because that's the best way everyone can have a great time! I am very social but also love to channel my introverted side :) i love adventure, amazing food, and meeting people who love the same!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am not available to host, but am looking to couch surf on several trips throughout Europe in 2014!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed through Europe in 2012 in several countries and was absolutely wonderful! I have some of my best friends through CS

Interests

My passions are drawing and painting, drumming, crafting, reading, blogging or watch Mad Men (sometimes I do these things too much!). I also love love love going out to shows or bars with my friends, and having a great morning after breakfast with everyone after a fun Friday night. Sometimes I spend my days off from work going the Marin Headlands or Big Sur to hike or sometimes blogging on my fashion/art blog! I love nature; forests, beaches, canyons, desserts, mountain, snowy mountain tops, everything. I love San Francisco because of how romantic and free it is, I was born in Petaluma and have now lived here for five years and love it more every day. Everywhere I go here the people become more open-minded all the time. I try to spend most of my time soaking up experiences and beauty, watching as many wonderful films as I can, hearing as much music as I can, seeing as much art as I can, and meeting as many amazing people as I can! I also have been playing drums for 2 years and it's my new huge passion! Playing on a drumset completely clears my mind so I do it as much as I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

3 moments that left me awestruck:

-Seeing the New York City ballet perform to Vivaldi's Four Seasons. There is one part of "Spring" that gets me every time and when these dancers formed together for this part of the piece and then erupted into jumping and turning, I couldn't speak it was so beautiful

-Seeing Jeff Mangum perform in San Francisco recently at a very small theater left me speechless and in tears, I never thought I would ever get to see him perform because he doesn't ever tour that often. To hear his voice was absolutely unreal.

-Seeing Radiohead perform "Idioteque" at a festival in golden gate park in 2007. I just looked up at the sky full of stars and the thousands of people gathered together under them listening to this amazing song being performed and I had one of those "we are so small" moments! It was so beautiful I will never forget it.

-Going on a private jeep tour atop the canyons in Sedona, Arizona and looking over the endless gorges of red rock dipping into what was this small little lit up artist town. I truly felt like I was in the middle of no where(compare to san francisco) and it felt awesome!
