I'm just a southern California girl with a zest for meeting new people and getting to know their story. I am passionate about the connectivity of a global world, and my career is in international business. My partner is Dutch and I had the opportunity to live with him in the Netherlands for a year. Now we live in San Diego and are enjoying the most we can of our sunny, beach life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There are so many people who can share their world with us - I'd like to get to know them and share a bit of their culture. I don't know what I don't know - I want to see what else is there, what else I can learn from and to share what I can with those around me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking with good friends through Havasupai in Arizona - a truly outstanding experience in connecting with friends in new ways, seeing beauty I could never imagine in the world, and challenging myself to conquer a few fears along the way. Intense blue water, bright red rocks, gorgeous waterfalls, long exhausting hikes, good stories amongst friends, and total relaxation into the moment. Amazing!
