CURRENT MISSION

To see the best of my own country while finding seasonal work. So far I've lived a season in Key West, Sonoma County, CA and Silver City, NM! Next up: Alaska!

ABOUT ME

I smile a lot and get along with everyone. My travel style is very much hyper local - 'How can I feel like I live here? Where is the bingo game? Where is the cooking class? Where is that informal little bluegrass jam that happens every week?'

PHILOSOPHY

Everything I do to know the story.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had such wonderful experiences with Couchsurfing! I don't do much planning when I travel so I'm not able to use it as much as I like but I get really excited when I have something lined up and I always have such warm feelings about a place when I've couchsurfed there. I can't wait to have my own place one day so I can host too.

Interests

I love riding my bike everywhere, cooking veggies from the farmer's market, crafting, writing short stories, and reading. I am a master thrifter. I love to be outdoors. If it's a sunny day I'll be anxious being inside no matter what temperature it is. I love to hike and camp and beach.

For now I'm driving across country in my little home on wheels, a '72 VW camper - Nellie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swear, every trip I take is on the same level of amazing. I have finally found my way of traveling and now I never stray - move slowly, talk to everyone, and be curious about everything. Open yourself up and the world opens up to you!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a basic knowledge of sewing so I can help with some alterations or machine issues or if a project just isn't going well. I'm no pro but I have had my share of frustrations so I know about those!

I speak fairly fluent Spanish so I can be a conversation buddy to someone learning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make a mean sweet potato enchilada, I can help with basic sewing problems, and I love manual labor, dishes and cleaning - put me to work!
