I am obsessed with traveling, being outdoors and sharing adventures with others. I was born and raised in rural Northern California have been pursuing outdoor sports and writing since I was a young teen. Throughout college and since graduation I have worked as a multi-sport adventure trip leader, raft guide, photographer, journalist and freelance writer. I love meeting new people, sharing experiences and getting to know others through their life stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, the highlight of traveling has always been connecting with locals and having the authentic, memorable quirky experiences that only getting to know someone can bring. I also love hosting and being able to share my home with others so couchsurfing seemed like the perfect avenue.
