Greetings! L.A. Area native, living in Berkeley, CA. I am a recent graduate from Mills College in Oakland, CA.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to get away from my routine as much as possible, and make some friends along the way! Plus, hotels are no fun/too expensive. I don't mind helping out around your home or making a meal in exchange for my stay.
CS came in handy during my trip through Europe so I’d love to pay it forward and help our guests by opening up my home. I probably won't have enough time to show you around town, but I will do my best to make sure your stay is comfortable and that we get to know one another.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played music on the streets of Kotor, Montenegro (and made a whopping 4 euros)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Perhaps some basic Ukulele? Spanish or Portuguese? Pretentious art history knowledge? Vegan cooking?
Learn: if you know anything about construction, please share it with me!! My dream is to build a house boat or an Earthship one day in the future. Or whatever interests you can share with me!
Share: Philosophical/cultural discussions (:
