CURRENT MISSION

Making connections with people, places and experiences, learning, appreciating and loving life.

ABOUT ME

I'm a happy and open individual that loves to hear and share stories and adventures. Personal interaction and communication is important to me, but I'm not chatty. I like to have in-depth conversations and try to think positively.

I grew up in a suburb of San Diego, CA and love San Diego, but also like exploring other parts of the world. I have lived in Okinawa, Japan, Alaska, New Mexico, Oregon, New York and currently, Petaluma, CA. I've been to Canada, Peru, Mexico, multiple countries in Europe and the Phillippines and hope to travel more.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to hear people's stories and share mine. I am idealistic and don't place my personal values on others, but ask that people are honest and have integrity. I like to be around passionate people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like the idea of community, but don't think that it needs to be confined to physical constraints.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed one time in the past and hope to do more, both surfing and hosting. I think couchsurfing creates an incredible community of people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't watch that many movies and often say that if you list your top 50 favorite movies, I've probably only seen 5 of them. But I LOVE music and books. I love live music and raw talent. I like sitting in gardens and squares, people watching with a book in hand.
