I love talking to people and hearing their stories and experiences. I love to travel and hope to do more of it in the near future. I've lived in Orange County most of my life, with a few years in Arizona and New Mexico. I have a pretty chill existence these days in my small house with a great view and my two four legged kids (one dog and one cat). I do some animal fostering occasionally with a local rescue organization and would consider myself an activist. I love a good glass of wine and consider myself a bit of a foodie. I love sports, particularly soccer and football. I'm one of those people who doesn't have a huge network of acquaintances but rather a few very close friends. Less than a year ago I left corporate America and now work at the local Trader Joe's, which is great!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people who have a shared interest in travel and to expand my world a bit more. :)

Interests

Hanging out with friends, my dog, movies, music, reading, sports, trying to get to the gym more often. As of this writing I've been spending a lot of time working on my house and redesigning my backyard.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is a tough question...I think perhaps a couple are moving to another state kind of on a whim, twice. I also spent six months in the Philippines, about 50% of which was with no one else from the states, for work.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm one of those people who knows a little bit about a lot of things. I love the idea of hearing stories from others. Pretty much everyone has an interesting story or has done something or been somewhere inspirational.
