I live in California but grew up mostly between Texas and Alaska. Have a B.A. in interdisciplinary studies with a focus on Consciousness/Psychology. I spend much of my time in the mountains or on the ocean in beautiful Santa Barbara where I live. I work doing web development and as a youth mentor at Wilderness Youth Project, where we spend time with them in nature, hiking, swimming, learning different crafts and survival/primitive skills like fire making. Love music and travel and learning new things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting people, connecting threads, learning local culture and sharing experiences and stories with new friends

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with and known a few couch surfing hosts and have had some really wonderful experiences meeting people I otherwise might not have met. I hope to be a host myself one day when I have a proper space to host travelers.
