I'm originally from sunny Los Angeles (outside of the main city center). I did a working holiday in New Zealand which led me to Vancouver, Canada where I have been living for the past 3 years. It is a gorgeous place to explore and a paradise for the outdoors!!

In winter you'll find me on the slopes of Whistler Blackcomb or camping/skiing in the backcountry.
Summertime is all about watersports and rock climbing!

Besides outdoor activities, I have a real appreciation for live music (I play the drums). I also love international films and I'm always looking for recommendations :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet interesting people and learn about different cultures. I would also love to spend time in the outdoors and experience the beauty of nature together.
