ABOUT ME

Born & raised in beautiful California, studied Art and Environmental Studies at UC Santa Cruz. I'm energetic, brave, open-minded, creative, adaptable, and pretty much happy in a variety of situations. I believe that everyone in the world (including myself) could benefit from being a better listener. I love to travel & meet new people, it is the best and most real way to learn, period. Every day of your brief life is urgent, do something amazing, today!!!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For two years I had an awesome time hosting couchsurfers in Santa Cruz--I got to experience all these backgrounds & ideologies without even leaving my home! Then later I started using this website as a surfer too. Every experience has exceeded my expectations—CS is a great resource.
