Hello! I am from the diverse, eccentric, and beautiful Oakland/Berkeley, CA, 15 minutes outside of San Francisco. A few years ago, after I graduated high school, I embarked on an unreal year of solo travel through South America to discover the world and, in turn, myself. Now, inspired to continue seeing the world, for the past year I have been taking my University classes online while traveling.

I prefer to spend my time in nature, reading, or watching stand-up comedy. I absolutely love surfing, skiing, trekking, basketball, yoga, and enjoy doing pretty much anything active/outside with good people. I also love board/card games and a good night.

I'm not on this app to travel cheaply. I want to be a good guest! Let me buy you dinner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So I can meet locals who can introduce me to their incredible cities and cultures! I love how Couchsurfing enables authentic experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got "barreled" (having the wave wrap around you and make it out) while surfing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm interested to learn about what matters to you and why. I love to listen.
I can teach you some new card games (I have some with me!) or how to surf/ you teach me (if we are near a beach).
I am always happy to share gratitude with others, as well as share my passion for living outside my comfort zone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you cook, clean, or do anything you may need! I am not here just to travel cheap but to really get to know you and your home.
