ABOUT ME

I am gregarious, active and diversified in my interests; a lover of music, expression, dance, eating, cooking, and growing food. I love being outdoors in all manners :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have the cross cultural experience of traveling when I'm at home and to have friends in far away places when I roam :)

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just got back from two months in Brazzaville, Congo. My mind is blown. Was studying dance and drumming there but learned so many other things. Two winters ago I rode enduro motorcycles with a friend to the Cabo San Lucas, in Baja California, Mexico and back from Oakland CA, USA! It was about 6400 km of street and offroad riding. So amazing I just want to keep going around the world!
