CURRENT MISSION

...to enjoy the path...

ABOUT ME

this is tourture, to write about myself, because part of why I travel is to create myself and discover who I might be... in the meantime, I am trying to balance my travels with a bit of work while at home to finance my journey. Most of my work involves travel within the US, except for one year when I worked for Princess Cruises. I have taken trips to China and Mexico recently, and I was bitten by the travel bug...

PHILOSOPHY

be honest, live lightly on the planet, take my time and get it right...

travel makes your world smaller and your heart bigger

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host travelers at the moment; trying to untie myself from my current position as a manager in order to travel more, see more of the country and the world.

I like to 'tour-guide' my current home of Sacramento and I have a penchant for the outdoors and nightlife, so it is always fun!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met some amazing people- everyone seems so eager to help me travel and so appreciative of my hosting them... it has been awfully nice. :)
