CURRENT MISSION

To have my mind blown by something new and amazing!

ABOUT ME

I love school, education, food, cooking, travel, whiskey, exploring, laying on the beach and reading, mimosas at the park, art, and music. I paint and play drums.

Cheerfully stayed away from home for 2 years to travel South America, Hawaii, Japan, Southeast Asia, New Zealand, Fiji, and lived and worked in Australia!

I love cooking vegan dishes and trying new foods. I freaking love Thai food. I was vegan for 6 years.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest with self awareness and respect for everyone. Gotta love this Bush quote for the mere fact that he's out of his mind: "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — — shame on you. Fool me — — You can't get fooled again."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel, surf, host and connect with genuine people. Wherever I travel I manage to talk more about traveling and it is inspiring to learn about new cultures. I love the idea of self awareness and moving away from egocentrism. I love volunteering and helping the community in any way I can. I largely support Western Service Workers Association in San Diego.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some of my best experiences are quite opposite. I love when I arrive to a host's place and feel like I've known the person for years. They greet me like family and treat me the same. I also love the last minute couchsurf when the house is full to the max but an amazing host would let us camp in the yard. intimate and party surfing are both great experiences!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The one amazing experience was a 10 day canoe trip through the Canadian Boundry Waters. It was the most physically challenging thing I've done. Once we set up tent and hung our food away from bears we set up hammocks and relaxed surrounded by trees and beautiful lakes. It was amazing to have nothing but yourself to rely on for transportation, housing and cooking.
