I'm a nature enthusiast, artist, beer snob, podcast addict and explorer. I love being outdoors, whether is be hiking, biking or sketching plants. I like to explore the unknown parts of cities. I currently reside in Sacramento, California as an Environmental Consultant specializing in water resources. My dream job would be a professional podcaster. I love to dance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, save money while traveling, and affirm my faith in humanity through the kindness of strangers.

Interests

Drawing and painting. Really into simple graphite and charcoal drawings right now, but also love watercolor, acrylic and multi-media. I take photos of graffiti around my city. My favorite things to sketch are plants, interesting buildings and people (in that order). Lately I've been getting into learning about architecture.

Craft beers, especially pumpkin beers, saisons, sours, stouts, and porters. I'm always down to try home brew. I've been less than successful in my own brewing endeavors.

I can't get enough outdoor time. I love the sun.
