I am an altruistic, creative, independent and vibrant woman with a passion for traveling, working with children, helping others, and living life to the fullest. I am originally from San Francisco, California, although I have moved around a great deal and have lived in several dozen different living situations and places throughout the USA.

I have been traveling solo on and off since 2013 and traveled to 30+ countries.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Although I do not have intentions to stay in any one location for an extended amount of time, I am hoping to enjoy as many opportunities as possible along the way to meet new people, use my skills and creativity to assist in whatever way possible, become immersed in various cultures, and experience this great, beautiful world. By utilizing CouchSurfing (as well as WorkAway and various volunteer projects), I hope to gain such experiences!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Not big into staring at a screen for endless amounts of time, but typically watch documentaries, comedies or dramas - tend to steer away from sci-fi.

Music, it really depends on my mood - always down for some sophisticated hip-hop and chill house.

97% of the time, I read non-fiction. Favorite author is Paulo Coelho.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I live simply & humbly, and am generally low-maintenance. I am comfortable with nearly any sleeping situation, whether it be in a tent, a bunk bed, a couch, a hammock (I have my own!), a king-size bed in a private suite ;) I pride myself in being open-minded, helpful, and patient, and like to believe I have a good sense of humor. I eat anything and everything, and really don't fear much. During down time, I tend to keep to myself (whether it means reading a book, exploring my surroundings, cooking a meal, relaxing in my hammock, taking photos), although I can be quite sociable when the occasion calls for it. I'm well-mannered, respectful, and will try just about anything twice!
