CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world through culture, music, dance, hiking, biking, swimming, laughing, loving and living every moment to the fullest! I am at the perfect time in my life to travel and I want to dive past the "tourist" route to find the hidden gems!

ABOUT ME

I'm from a small town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains with the most beautiful river in the world. I studied creative writing, literature and dance at UC Santa Cruz, and studied abroad in Granada, Spain. I graduated from UC Santa Cruz June 2013 and taught sustainability to kids in San Francisco.
I just returned from 6 months in Nepal and India, working with early childhood educators, volunteering, trekking, paragliding, exploring, and having an amazing journey.
I am happy to be back in beautiful California, and can't wait for the next adventure!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest, no one gets out alive anyway

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think that people should never have to pay to explore a new place when there are so many open couches, spare beds and comfy floors in the world!
I'm also excited to do events with other couch surfers like hiking through the mountains, going on bike rides and finding the best tapas and cervezas!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted surfers from New Zealand, England, Spain, and stayed with some incredible hosts in Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, and many parts of the US! I have had so many opportunities and have been truly blessed with warm, welcoming hosts that go above and beyond to show me why they love their hometowns and cities so much!
