Born and raised in Southern California, I'm an American who is passionately curious and desires to experience people and places around the world. I currently have the opportunity to interact with and care for people from all walks of life in my line of work as an Emergency Medical Technician. However, I wish to expand my horizons by experiencing my travels with those who create the pulse of my destinations..the locals!
I enjoy prowling through book stores, art museums, nightclubs, cafes, gardens, and all the more that a city has to offer. However, I also enjoy escaping into nature, be it through hiking, free-diving, snorkeling, etc.

To satisfy my creative desires, I perform as freelance dancer, model, stilt walker, and sing monthly at my city's downtown open mic. I absolutely love jazz and love singing it!

I'm a neat and tidy guest who understands how to treat someone's home. And though I enjoy interacting with my hosts, I'm also capable of keeping myself occupied if need be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
