I'm traveling in or around Ho Chi Mihn in May.

I finished grad school, traveled around western Australia and south east Asia, and then taught English in Japan.

I’m respectful and get along with most people and love being in the sun.

I’ve lived in LA for the last 8 years. I’m originally from the desert - it holds a special place in my heart :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to make friends across the globe, learn about other cultures and how local people live, and find people to travel with!

Interests

Spending time in nature. Surfing (in the ocean), sailing, botanical gardens (I have my own succulent garden I’ve built from scratch over 8 years), ceramics, doing things locals do. I prefer to travel at a mellow pace (not rushed) and spend my days out and about as opposed to nights. I like swapping stories over a drink in dark relaxing bars or at home with friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly read non fiction, like comedies and dramas, and listen to indie music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Abseiled down a waterfall!

Cocktail making, crewing a sailboat, a deep knowledge of biology, going on road trips, team cooking, recommendations on where to travel in the US - especially the southwest and California, practicing Spanish and English...
