Hi friends!
I'm Izzy. I work in the outdoor industry, so I move around seasonally. I grew up in California, and I love to be outside, always. People are what give me energy, and I love meeting new friends. I get excited easily, I like to think I have common sense, and I'm always down to try something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel! Social! Experience!
My first couch surfing experience really changed my life (not a joke!). The generosity and kindness that my hosts offered to me was very eye opening. It made me very excited to open my home to others in the future, and it also gave me an awareness of what I may be able to bring to others lives as a guest.

Interests

Currently, all I'm all about mountain biking! I love to read, knit, socialize, and be in the sun as much as possible. I like to cook and eat hella dank meals. Meals cooked with others is a way I love to spend my time.

Music, Movies, and Books

How could I pick just one?
I love bluegrass, folk, rock, country, hip hop, dance, funk, and many other kinds of music.
Books...too many to list. That's kind of a cop out I suppose. Honestly though, I have gotten half way through a book before realizing that I've read it before. I just don't retain as much as I should.
Movies? Nacho Libre!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to work in China and South Korea 2017-2019. A wild and unforgettable experience. I worked with kids, guiding hiking, kayaking, camping and other outdoor activities. Including tie-dye.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn more of others passions. To hear what keeps them moving and going.
I would love to share my own, too!
Community is the most important thing to me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to cook a meal with you!
Sitting and talking, or getting outside would be delightful.
I am also always down to give a mini knitting lesson to ya. Scarves for days.
