I grew up in Southern California playing music with friends and family. I have been working in various hotels while exploring new things before I head back to college. I would like to study environmental science, and love all things to do with nature, exploring, and art.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently spending a year in New Zealand traveling in my van. Looking to meet some cool people to hang out with and play/ listen to music, surf with, hike with, or just about anything else!

Interests

I enjoy everything from playing music, to sailing, to surfing and snowboarding, to climbing mountains, to going to concerts, to taking long road trips. I enjoy a having a few beers at the end of the day.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste is quite expansive starting with classic rock and blues to classical music to pop music and just about everything else (surf rock, psychedelic, alternative, indie, spanish, metal, electronic, folk and any mix of them)

I really enjoy good movies, but would not claim to be a knowledgeable movie critic. Nor will I throw movie quotes at you. However I am very into the Game of Thrones series and other TV shows such as House of Cards, Black Mirror, and other related titles that I occasionally can't resist binge watching.

I enjoy reading Paulo Coelho's various books, books on sailing, and am always looking for something new to start reading!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been kissed by a Beluga Whale and a Walrus in the same day.
