Greetings! I’m from Los Angeles but I am currently based in Washington DC.

I have met some of the most amazing people on this platform and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’ve been a Couchsurfer for about 15 years now and want to keep this spirit of giving (and sharing) alive without expecting anything back.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I didn't hear about CS until the day I had a garage sale in Germany and sold all my furnitures before moving back to California. I was introduced to Couchsurfing from the lady who bought my couch in 2008.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Most breathtaking roadtrip I've ever done was driving on the autobahn (A12) and passing through Innsbruck in Austria in the middle of the night over a clear sky. It was as if the stars were within your reach! And the craziest festivals I've ever attended were San Fermin Running of the Bulls in Pamplona and Munich's Oktoberfest. I’d love to do all three all over again!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover"

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I may be able to host for a day or two depending where I am. Would also love to have coffee and chat up about life and travel. I can also offer therapeutic massage.
