ABOUT ME

I live in North County San Diego, and am a fan of the sea! I enjoy a good beer or whiskey alongside excellent laughs. I played volleyball for 8 years, went to art uni at CSU Long Beach. I enjoy pretty much all media. I do a lot of oil painting, and photography whether it be surreal, or fashion-based. I like to grab onto opportunities that come my way, and enjoy the ride.

PHILOSOPHY

'the only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with someone else when we're uncool'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I sadly cannot host any couch-surfers at the moment, though once I return from my travels I hope to!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There was a time during college where I moved 4 times in 9 months, while sleeping on floors and couches of friends during and again following that year when I was in Australia; graced a couple more couches with my zzzs. Truly grateful for the help during that time, and also probably one of the best years of my life, learned a lot about myself and everyone around me.

But couchsurfing exp via The CouchSurfing community?... It's been real great, met new friends and learned the ways of their life

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

HA! I don't believe in just one amazing thing, considering every month making rent is like a fucking miracle every time... but just recently in the last year, I drove with 3 friends across the country through the Pacific Northwest, to Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota, Missouri, Illinois, and Detroit... camped and lived out of a 1976 Dodge Tradesman. Then some months later I drove with another friend from California through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Arkansas to Tennessee.
