Hello! I'm a kind, respectful, and adventurous human :) I'm a school psychologist so I get summers off, which is great for traveling! I'm originally from Ontario, Canada, but I grew up mostly in Hawaii (Big Island, Kona side) and Lake Tahoe. Currently I live in Santa Cruz, California, so I've been a lucky gal to say the least!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love traveling, and it's a great way to meet new people while traveling to a new place, and it also helps with cost! I have hosted people in the past with a profile I shared with my ex partner, and loved the experience of meeting people from around the world!
