Activities I like: camping/backpacking, road trips, hiking, running, extended amounts of time in wilderness, bikram yoga, seeing live music, dancing, swimming, riding my bike, spending time at the beach, snowboarding, and most recently, rock climbing (in gyms and outdoors)...though I am still a beginner.

I am interested in: sustainability, ecology, just about all things environmentally related, social justice, women's rights, permaculture, nutrition, film photography...

I am not a big partier or a loud person. I LOVE seeing live music. I enjoy sports. I am respectful and clean up after myself. I enjoy collaborating and cooking meals with friends with a bottle of wine or something. I prefer smaller groups of people as opposed to large groups for sure. Enjoy deep conversations with good people.
Life is beautiful, and it is the people with whom you share experiences with which make it beautiful. Part of the joy I get from traveling is the exposure to like-minded individuals who I can form long friendships with.

I have had the pleasure of housing friends met traveling in my home, just not officially on couch surfing, and it is one of my favorite things-- to show people from other parts of the world what home means to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to visit a place is to see it with a local! I also firmly believe that a place is as good as the people you know there. I would love to make connections with people all over the world to learn about their culture and way of living, and eventually pay it forward.

I am looking to meet down to earth individuals. I want to meet people who are passionate about something or some type of exchange where we can learn from each other. I am continually inspired by people I meet traveling, which is part of the reason I love traveling as much as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

6 months backpacking in South America.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to have conversations about curious things, exchange ideas, learn from others.

I hope to meet some people living/traveling in their vans because I wish to do the same at some point in my life.

I'd love to learn more about building/creating things, like woodworking, fixing things...manual labor type of things, I guess. I want to learn to do things on my own!

I speak pretty good spanish and fluent english. Open to learning other languages. Would love some language exchange! I can teach english.

I have a pretty extensive taste in music. would love to share that with you.
