I work remotely, so I like to go live in new cities every once in a while, but my home base is in Santa Barbara, California. I spent a year in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and have been in Medellin the last 3 months. I love hiking, meeting new people, food/cooking, reading, learning and a million other things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had a number of great experiences as a host in Santa Barbara. A fun way to meet new people and learn about new places. Recently I surfed for the first times in Bangkok and Hong Kong, and peoples' kindness and generosity always amazes me!
