About Me

I am seeking to find the adventure in every situation! For the next year, I want to see the the U.S. entirely. Before going abroad for longer trips, I want to know this country better than anywhere else. I love new things, new experiences and meeting new people! Also, I am always craving to be outdoors and trying out new action sports. I love surfing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, camping and exploring. On the road is where I feel that I learn the most about myself and I love to have experiences with other people, from all types of backgrounds, that enrich my overall journey!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to explore all the different neighborhoods of Southern California and see where I best fit in. I am completely amazed by all of the unique, totally different spots that offer their own world throughout the southern part of the state. The water is where I really love to be, so I'm traveling the coast down to Mexico and I'm eager to see where this journey takes me for the next month!

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music, at the moment, is reggaeton!! I have no idea why I love this music so much considering I don't speak Spanish (yet) and I have a minimal amount of natural rhythm.... it's super fun though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a summer in east Africa working in different schools for various social/medical programs throughout Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya! It was AMAZING. I was able to camp for the first month while we were in Kenya and I had the incredible opportunity to be able to river raft the Nile River as well, which was something I never thought I would be able to do while I was still in college.

Teach, Learn, Share

Coaching soccer is something I love. It was the biggest part of my life when I was growing up and I love to share the game with all ages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I radiate positivity!! Really, I am happy and joy-filled and I love connecting with people. I also love taking my friends off-roading in my 4Runner when I find great new spots that have dirt roads. Additionally, I can teach people about editing videos. Editing was a huge part of my education and it's something I love to share with people. I could edit videos 24 hours straight if I had the footage to work with.
