About Me

I'm an adventurous spirit from San Diego, California whose been lucky enough to travel and explore South America for the past year and a half. My partner, Jay, and I quit our jobs and sold everything to come explore, volunteer, learn and experience different parts of the world. So far it's been an unforgettable and amazing experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals and embrace the culture in a way you can't do by staying in hostels or hotels. We've had incredible couch surfing experiences since we started traveling and are so grateful!

Interests

We both love surfing, yoga, trekking, playing sports (beach volleyball is the best!), reading, card games and of course, traveling! Jay is also a musician who plays drums, guitar and piano. Some coffee or mate and good conversation is always enjoyable as well. We have many hobbies and interests and are always eager to learn and try something new!
