Hi fam, I am an avid traveler between Hawaii, Mex and Oregon. I once went 2yrs full time RV life across the country. So I'm fluent in small spaces :-) I spent a few years hosting travelers and thru hikers in my log cabin in new Hampshire during grad school and again in So. Oregon and Baja, Mx. I have stayed w folks on 4 continents and over 10 countries. I love education, adventures, personal growth, and story telling. Meeting new folks is often the highlight of any trip. Currently I'm based in Baja, but i am traveling frequently this year. I love to connect with fellow surfers, its such a great community and i hope to always stay connected.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems like an honest and karmic way to traverse this beautiful planet. Get to know real people, and learn about others in the midst of a vulnerable/intimate scenario. I've done it alone and as a couple many times (not only through this site) and it almost always leaves me feeling grateful and blessed with new friends :-)

Interests

Hmm, traveling perhaps? I like biology and philosophy. Healthcare and expression. helping people improve their quality of life interests me greatly. My friend uses the term "primed to connect", and that's how I hope to be. I love the ocean, striking up conversations with strangers, pursuing performing arts, and the outdoors...
