ABOUT ME

I love to travel, push my self beyond my limits and drag my friends on adventures. I'm all about family, friends and fun adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't read about it, see it or hear about it...Live it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like spending time with fellow travelers and hosting when I can. I like being a guest because it gives me perspective. I like hosting because it allows me to share an experience with others. Why not pull yourself out of the comforts of predictability and actually take a chance to connect with someone new. The places all melt together after a while but the people remain distinct experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All of my hosts have been kind and caring people. I particularly enjoy learning from them and sharing something with them from my hometown. I have had no formal CS experience as a host through CS due to my unpredictable schedule BUT i have hosted people i met randomly- SF bay area has many visitors and you never know what kind soul you will meet on the street 😊

As a female traveler i have been fortunate on CS and with traveling solo in general. Unfortunately the world is not always a safe place for female travelers and i have learned that from speaking with other CSrs. I am only hosting women so that they have a safe place physically and emotionally. Sorry guys! Please see my home section!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music but mostly enjoy it LIVE. I try to get some exposure to the local music scene on all of all the paces I visit. While I am not one to spend time in a movie theater I do love a comedy. There are many great books so I cannot pick a favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most amazing things I've done are best described through conversation :)

But one thing is cycling SF to LA to support HIV/AIDS research and treatment.

AIDSlifecycle.org

After waiting 8 hours to enter floor admission at a U2 concert i got to know people in line with me. I met two people who had traveled long distance for the show and had not slept. We still had another 4-5 hours to wait to get in so i gave them my apartment keys and they went to sleep there for a while. Of course my roommates were startled but not shocked i did it 😊

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning new things about culture, history and art. I like to try to share a meal; I usually like cooking for a host or guest. I also like to try to share some sort of experience with them such as hiking, going to a family/friend event, or seeing a local band.

I consider myself environmentally conscience. I practice the 3 Rs, minimize and reduce my footprint as best as i can. I am always open to learning new ways to be sustainable and sharing what i know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share travel stories, my personal recipes and laughs! While i am perfectly happy exploring alone its nice to explore with a guest or host. If available to meetup i like to join CSrs to museums (i know all the free days), hiking, and events like free local festivals ( i usually know those schedules too) I am not one to just hit up bars so if you are looking for a party host thats not me but there are plenty so have fun :)
