I'm a home grown solar-powered Californian with a big appetite. I am curious and love talking to new people. My friends like me because I'm straight-forward, quirky, down to earth, kind, and loving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel mostly to experience the life of people around the world. Usually when I end up in a different country I just want to go to the local market and do what the locals do. I'm curious to see what people are like. I'm not into the usual tourist attractions.

And I like to talk to people and hear their stories! I like to meet people of all different backgrounds to learn about the people that we share this world with. :)

Interests

Having great conversations with people, and learning. My life's goal is just to continue learning new things and pushing myself to be a better person.

• singing
• dancing
• traveling

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once travelled from Accra, Ghana to Dakar, Senegal (look up the distance on a map) overland. It took 4 days and 4 nights one way...and then back. I stayed in the east (rural) side of Senegal, and one night I looked up at the sky, and I had never seen so many stars in my life. The entire sky was covered, because there was no light or pollution anywhere around.

I also have a dent in my skull from Myanmar/Burma. And I had malaria twice and I'm still alive.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My stories of living on three continents, hugs, laughter, and good company. :)
