I love meeting new people, traveling, and trying new things. I have been to over 20 countries and plan to add more! I've been in LA for over 11 years and still find new things all the time. I prefer holes-in-the-wall to fine dining, and supporting local business vs. box stores (my guess is that's the case for most CS'ers!)

My faith is one of my favorite parts of my life, and coffee is the next :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about CS many years ago, but finally am trying to plug in. I'm about to embark on a 3-month journey to several continents and hope to connect with CS communities abroad so I can meet locals, get our of tourist traps, and experience real life wherever I go.

When I get back I hope to do the same for others who are visiting my city :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Pride & Prejudice

I love lots of movies, rom coms are my favorite though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left corporate America to do work that was more meaningful to me, even though it looked like a dumb decision to most people :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love community service!
I work with several non-profits in LA and can connect you if you're interested.

I am a great listener and friends always come to me for advice.

I'm not great at cooking or art or producing things with my hands, so I use my brain and words as a way to give back.

I love hearing people's stories, what motivates them, what made them who they are, who they want to become.....

What I Can Share with Hosts

A listening ear, encouragement to live the life they dream of, company for outings, swapping of travel stories, help around the house, and I can make some delicious desserts!
