CURRENT MISSION

I love finding new twangy music, making new foods, and adding new life hacks to my list of things I liked to do. Right now, working on my garden, hanging with my dog, rock climbing as much as possible, and sniffing around for a whitewater paddling setup!

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent Berkeley graduate, just moved to Reno, Nevada from California. I studied architecture, but secretly have no plans to become an architect. I'm love rock climbing, can't stop drawing, and get off on working with my hands. Gardening is awesome, so is my dog. Looking for peace and some sweet music jams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few people in my cooperative in Berkeley, as well as been hosted by a good amount of wonderful people. One of my best experiences has been in Galiga, Italy with a group of wonderful people out in the middle of the countryside. Somehow, two years later, when I visited my college roommate in Bologna, it turned out one of those couchsurfers was his new roommate! Small world.

In the past I was hosted in Dublin, Ireland by a wonderful and vivid group of vagabond spirits, where I learned aerial silks from the rafters of a squatted warehouse and crawled through a wall to get to my bed.

Interests

In my free time I like to paint, draw, find new music, rock climb, and most recently have been slowly getting into whitewater sports. I love hiking/backpacking, urban exploration, cooking, dark wine, good beer (IPA's are great). A few things I'm recently been getting more involved in come with the design world, such as furniture, interior, and landscape design. I'm working as a fabricator/woodworker after a few years in the studio up in the PNW, and loving it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed the Upper Yosemite Falls trail and hung over the edge, watched people walk by on the canyon floor from the ridge of Zion National Park, rolled in the mud at the base of Steale Falls in the Scottish Highlands, learned aerial silks in an abandoned warehouse in that downpour that only those from the UK know.

Teach, Learn, Share

Please do. I love cooking, and would be so stoked to make you food as a guest or a host.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm unfortunately a pretty busy lady, I've got a lot of stuff going on in my life at the moment, and as much as I'd like to accept everyone, its oftentimes difficult to find the time to balance.

Please make a request far in advance. It makes it a lot easier for me to help people out, as I can take time off to show you around and be a better host. Thanks!
