My husband Steven and I currently reside in Los Angeles, CA. He is a geologist and I recently graduated with my Masters of Public Health from UCLA. I love meeting new people and hearing people's stories. I enjoy trying food from different cultures and I believe true friends are made around the dinner table. I consider myself trustworthy, friendly, very easy to get along with, adventurous, and laid back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get a more local, unique, and intimate experience in the places I visit. And I would love to make new friends around the globe!

Interests

I love to go to the beach and swim in the ocean. I like to read in my free time (mostly on social justice topics or good novels of stories from around the world). I have a deep passion for learning. I love hiking and backpacking and exploring the outdoors. For a night in, I also enjoy playing board games with my friends!
