I’m a Bay Area native living in Oakland by way of San Francisco, San José, and a few other parts of California.

Well traveled and extremely laid back, I like to take my time exploring new places and meeting new people, hoping to make the most out of any experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and exchanging stories and customs . I would like to help fellow surfers in any way I can as they navigate through their travels.

I'll be traveling to Europe around the end of July/early August, starting in the U.K., France, Italy, Spain, and then whatever else comes up!
Still trying to figure out the best routes, and am trying to leave some of my travels a bit open ended. Since I'll being relying on CS during my own trip, I want to connect and help out fellow travels and maybe get some advice on solo traveling!

Interests

Anything that gets me outside. Love really long hikes/trail runs and camping trips, or even just exploring on my bike in my city. Nature is my happy place! Huge music lover, so I'm always looking for new concerts to attend. Photography, art, cooking, reading, trying new fitness classes. I'm into a lot of different things, so I'm never bored!

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything and everything! My taste is always expanding, though I primarily listen to blues, neo-soul, and all the various sub genres of alternative/indie.
I love movies and books that maybe reflect or challenge current social climates. Currently reading a lot of feminist literature as well!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good vibes🏻 and engaging conversation. I love to share stories and have intellectual discussion of life's wonders. I'm also a fairly decent cook, and am more than willing to share some cooked meals and a glass of wine with my hosts. I love spending the time getting to know people.
