Overview
About Me
I have actually hosted about 10 surfers; however, I didn’t have the profile at the time. My roommate took the requests and I shared hosting duties. If you find me on here and realize you have stayed with me, a review would be much appreciated!
That itch is BACK!! Gotta go, move, travel, be in a plane, be anywhere but the mundane!! This summer I will be spending time in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Croatia, and France and would love to share my experiences as a Californian with other hosts interested in cultural exchange. I find that the most beautiful experiences of travel are the refreshing new neural pathways built when discovering and sharing cultural differences and experiences. I am a perpetual student, so I find traveling to be one of the richest educators. I maintain myself professionally by playing keys in various bands around Central Coast Cali: JUDO NO, Gemini Jazz, The Kitchenettes and others as well as educating high schoolers (and myself) in math, science, writing, , study skills, memory skills and life coping skills. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you🎉🎺🌺
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
While living in Santa Cruz, CA, a housemate of mine started hosting couch surfers. That part of my life began to feel refreshing and eye opening as we met people from around the world on a weekly basis. I believe in the value of sharing our spaces with each other to allow the gift of affordable and safe travel.
