About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My boyfriend and I are traveling through New Mexico and southern Colorado filming a short film that will (hopefully) raise awareness and engagement in issues surrounding the climate crisis. Looking forward to filming Taos!

ABOUT ME

Former military kid, former AmeriCorps, I've lived in Europe, Asia but currently call sunny San Diego my home. Life has been a total adventure and it's marvelously unpredictable

PHILOSOPHY

carpe diem!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, I drink beers with fellow surfers and sometimes contribute to forums. Once I have a decent place I'd love to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was really involved in the couchsurfing crowd in Prague. I'm hoping to get back in!

Interests

I've been an outdoor educator for about five years. Raft guiding has been my favorite so far aside from teaching restoration to sixth graders.

Currently training and rehearsing for the International Tango Summit in LA this September. No, I have not been to Argentina (yet!).
