CURRENT MISSION

To make the world a better place for for future generations. My greatest passion is environmental sustainability, and I have worked in the solar energy industry for a decade. I quit my prior executive career to pursue my dream of traveling the the world. I was in Latin America for 10mos. and Europe for 6mos... so only made it half way before moving to Berlin, and still have a lot to explore! Currently, I am getting my Master’s degree in International Relations while working in cleantech.

ABOUT ME

I am an adventurous spirit. I enjoy nature and the outdoors, big fan of the beach (Southern California-native, gotta love the beach). I am a kind, loving and generous person. My friends are a big part of my life. Fun is my middle name. I love to read, practice yoga, meet new people and have philosophical conversations.

PHILOSOPHY

Be present. Live fully. Love endlessly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy sharing spaces, communities, thoughts and meeting new people. It is always better to get to know a place through a local’s perspective and recommendations.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer Disney movies and Planet Earth. Comedies too - who doesn't love to laugh?
For music: Deep house and techno (I live in Berlin). Fleetwood Mac is my favorite band. Classic rock, jazz, funk, classical.. I don’t discriminate (although I am not a big country or Thai music fan). I definitely prefer music festivals over nightclubs.
Favorite books: The Celestine Prophecy, The Alchemist and Siddartha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one?? Too bad. Burning Man (x10). Skydiving (I'm afraid of heights). Traveling by myself around the world. San Blas islands. Trekking Patagonia. Bolivia Salt Flats. Carnival in Rio. Galápagos Islands.

Teach, Learn, Share

My professional skills:: Yoga. Public relations. Clean energy. Marketing. Journalism. Corporate and political strategy. Shredding the dancefloor.

Always looking to learn new things and grow into a better person - I love culture, art, and philosophy. I would like to learn French, Arabic, and how to DJ after my master’s program.
