I am a 24 year old female, currently living in Oakland, CA. I've been in the bay area for almost 2 years and I absolutely adore it. I am about to embark on an adventure with my partner Josh traveling overseas to Europe and venturing around for the next 9 weeks. I am a lover of nature and am thankful everyday to be able to experience it. I enjoy being active and seeing new things every day. Having positive intention and being mindful are two things I find really important as a human being. I just finished a year working with/ teaching Kindergarten students and I absolutely adore them. Looking forward to my next adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with positive people throughout my travels. I value the concept of creating community, and would much prefer to kick it with real people in the area than to have a luxury place to stay.
