Nomad, no mad life.

Ya girl was born and raised in the bay area (California) and went to school in Los Angeles. Always on the hunt for things to do, people to meet, places to see, food to eat, alcohol to drink, places to dance at, live music, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would love to meet new people/travelers/locals to explore different cities with to make unforgettable (or forgettable) memories with. I also like the experience of budget traveling/accommodations versus isolated resort type tourism.
