About Me

CURRENT MISSION

CONTRIBUTING TO THE DELINQUENCY OF ADULTS

ABOUT ME

I am a super down to earth, open minded, very laid back person who works hard and plays hard. I love cultural exchange. I love adventure but I appreciate all the small things in life.I am originally from Las Vegas and lived in Los Angeles for six years as well. After traveling a bit in Europe in 2009, I ended up settling in Ibiza, Spain for several months which was quite an amazing experience. Now I am living and working in San Francisco and LOVING it.This coming year will be my fourth year at Burning Man. I enjoy the communal ethic of Burning Man... Check it out: www.burningman.comI'm vegetarian (pescatarian actually), and I consider wine to be a major food group.

PHILOSOPHY

NEVER A BORING MOMENT!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfers have more fun!

Interests

I love music, film and art, yoga, cooking, NPR, I travel as much as I can and I'm an education junkie. I love shows and concerts and a good night of dancing. I enjoy skiing, sailing and other water sports and riding horses, although I don't get to do these things nearly as often as I would like.
