Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been quite inactive for the last 2 years but I am ready to jump back on the couchsurfing horse! I'll be mobile and very active while traveling a bit in Vietnam, China, and South America. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am so happy that something like couchsurfing exists! I am just beginning my experiences, but thus far I feel like it will be something I will want to do for the rest of my life!

Interests

I love exploring by running everywhere. Mostly Bakersfield, Berkeley, Carpinteria have been my most frequently and recently preferred places to run. All very different and have a lot to offer.

Traveling, practicing languages (though I am only fluent in English ha), eating Brie and Honey Walnut bread, archaeology, hummus, hiking, rock climbing, slacklining, collecting frog figurines, astronomy, journalism, cremoladas, playing two chords on the guitar, learning from the wisest man that is my grandpa Bob, road trips, canchita, hats, and learning all the different uses of baking soda.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I have done is canyoneering with my stepdad. It was a 3 day trip and we learned so much! Probably too much for I know I have forgotten every single knot I must have practiced 12 times each!

We ascended and descended waterfalls with huge packs, told travel stories, and made great friends. I really need to go again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning Spanish right now while living with my family in Lima! If you love teaching Spanish to an advanced beginner, I'm your girl.
