CURRENT MISSION

I've traveled and lived all over. Now I've parked it in San Diego and started this healthy vegan food farmers market business- www.bitefoodsd.com. I live 1.5 blocks from the Ocean. I am really into yoga and meditation, getting to know strangers and myself and new activities. And I am just working on enjoying my days as much as they can be enjoyed. I am getting better and better at it :)

ABOUT ME

There is a little man in my head which occasionally kicks me in the butt if I am not living outside my comfort zone. I'm very grateful for that! I gravitate towards personal changes, and improving my life. I try to surround myself with shining people, and not take myself too seriously.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn compassion. Try not to be controlled by your emotions or your ego.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To me, the point of hosting is to try to show a traveler a great memorable time and share my favorite things in the city. If I have time, I will take you to the events and classes I go to and the exercise I do. I like the beach in the morning/evening, farmer's markets, exercising, dancing, cooking....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted ~100 people since 2010, (mostly when I started on a different account which I had with friends). Started surfing in 2013, and had experiences which were very impactful to my life. Met inspiring people.
