Hi!! At this time, I finally have my own place and a spare bedroom. I am down to host from time to time but only feel comfortable hosting women currently. :) That may change down the line but if you don’t fit into this category I may decline. Thanks for understanding.

I have lived in five cities - Chicago, San Francisco, St. Pete, Portland, and Los Angeles. I currently work at Sony Pictures in Los Angeles.

I SMILE a lot and am very low maintenance. I love dogs. I like to meet new people and learn about different cultures. Love to try new things even if it scares me!

Things that I try to do in every city I visit:
-Find a cooking class for local cuisine
-Find a dance class or some kind of exercise class that's unique to the city
-Go to an animal cafe or chill at a dog park
-Find the city's dessert specialty

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have surfed in Vegas, San Diego, Vancouver, Tokyo and Seoul, and used the “hangout” in the USA, Europe and Asia. It’s refreshing to meet locals and make international friends instead of being in a vacuum of your own comfort zone.

Interests

I've taken almost every kind of dance class imaginable!

• dogs
• arts
• film making
• spas
• dancing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Things I've done but am not necessarily good at: Glass blowing, cake decorating, lots of dance - including tap dancing competitions, bellydance, pole, blues dance, and Balinese dance, super eight film classes, rock climbing

I studied abroad in Hong Kong, climbed a slippery mountain in mainland China, floated in the Dead Sea, did the temple tour in Cambodia, spent my Thanksgiving on a solo trip to Canada, and drove to Vegas for my birthday to see Ninja Warrior.
