About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy Life

ABOUT ME

I've lived Santa Cruz for about 4 years and grew up in Northern California. As a student I studied environmental studies and biology. Love live music, good food and hiking around mother earth.

PHILOSOPHY

Love and be loved.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love the opportunity to host someone in my house, to help them experience the town I live in and meet new friends. Want to surf the world.

Interests

I love going to see live music, traveling, exploring the outdoors, spending the day at the beach, playing guitar, cooking great food, being surrounded by good friends, art of all sorts, building a greater understanding of the world I live in, laughing and learning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 17 I went to El Salvador and Nicaragua and gained a much needed insight to how people outside my home live their lives. I was able to step outside of my comfort zone, try to learn a new language, meet beautiful people and see the impact the United States has had on other places in the world through globalization, war and curruption.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach a few chords on guitar, identify local flora and fauna.

I would love to learn more music, natural history and new perspectives on life.
