Hello world!

My name is Kristin, and I am the true embodiment of the Southern California lifestyle. I live in an awesome little beach town in Los Angeles county, and I treat every day like it's a vacation! Well, with the exception of that pesky little thing I call a "job". I do enjoy my work though, so it could certainly be worse!

Whether I am watching the sunset, creating memories with friends, or soaking up the sun playing beach volleyball... My life and my heart are always full! I am friendly, extroverted, and enjoy meeting new people wherever I go. I have a lighthearted goofy side, crack jokes often, and seem to have some kind of magnetism that draws people in.

I also have a deep, intellectual side to me as well. I love debating social policy, deconstructing and decoding human behavior, and I even enjoy "nerding out" on topics like investing, insurance, and tax optimization. My adventurous side loves constantly challenging my comfort zone, spontaneous outings, and marching to the beat of a different drummer on a regular basis.

As a guest in your home, I will respect your privacy, your time, and all of your personal belongings. I am clean, love all types of animals (if you have any), and can entertain myself just fine. If you have any expectations of me as a Couchsurfer in your home, by all means, please let me know.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I want to see this world from every angle possible in this lifetime! From every location, to every human perspective. I want to immerse myself in different cultures, learn why people think differently from one another, and take in every breathtaking view along the way. I believe life is not meant to be lived in solitude, so I seek out others that enjoy sharing their own journey with me.

Música, películas y libros

I love country music, but I also enjoy everything from rock to reggae. My favorite movies include Gone with the Wind and Forrest Gump as top contenders. The books I read tend to be about improving myself in one way or another... Topics of interest tend to include nutrition, emotional intelligence, accomplishing goals, challenging limiting beliefs, etc.

I have poked red hot lava with a stick! So cool!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

My fun and engaging personality coupled with my uncanny ability to cut through the B.S. of what people say to get to the heart of what they really mean. People tend to enjoy these insights, but I am happy to turn it off just the same. I can also help you define your own goals and dreams, and give you the friendly support and nudge to see you start down your own path to make it a reality! I just love seeing how people light up when they talk about their passions.
