I was born in LA and grew up there for most of my life. I went to Cal Poly SLO and studied Graphic Communication. After college, I moved up to the Bay Area and worked as a graphic designer for over five years. I realized the office job was getting boring and wanted to travel, interact more with people, and not sit in front of the computer twelve hours a day! Two years ago, I did a huge career change and became a flight attendant. I LOVE IT!!!!

I do a lot of last minute solo traveling on my days off! So I apologize in advance if I send out last minute requests! :) It's always stressful to travel on standby!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I originally joined CS because many times I travel solo and always try to find new and interesting things to do with locals in different countries! I love to travel the world and meet amazing people along the way! I'm definitely not making big bucks working for the airlines, so I'm hoping CS will help me find a safe place to stay when traveling and make lifelong friendships! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied abroad in London during college with my professor and 12 other students from my major! I lived and studied in London for 6wks! It was the best experience of my life and where all my traveling addictions began! I went to Italy, Ireland, and Scotland on the weekends, attended a tennis match at Wimbledon, visited almost all of the major museum in London, and went to see a musical each week! Ever since then, I've been wanting to travel the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope Couchsurfing will allow me to share with people my passion for traveling, learn new things from others, and share my knowledge with the greater community!
