I am a 22 y/o recent graduate from CSU Monterey Bay with a B.A. in Psychology! I was born and raised in the Bay Area, but Monterey was just too wonderful to leave! I was lucky enough to be offered a full-time job in my field (someone employed my broke ass, hooray!!), so now I work as a mental health counselor/case manager in Monterey County.
That said, if you need any insight, I am more than happy to chat with you for hours and talk about anything! I am really laid-back, easy-going, and clean. I believe being mindful and respectful of your home and property is priority (I mean, I would want people to treat MY house the same!!).
I generally enjoy the finer things in life: Taco Bell, Netflix, red wine, cats, hiking, art, singing, hooping, and reading. I will admit that I enjoy entertaining people with singing, so if you have any requests, don't hesitate to ask :) I also have many other "talents" that may reveal themselves to you after a few glasses of wine (i.e. I do terrible voice impressions/accents...or so I've been told).
Also, if you have a pet, I promise I will provide them much love and cuddles and assure them they are good boys/girls (because your pets deserve so much damn love, dammit, we don't deserve animals, they are so much better than humans).

BONUS FUN FACT: I have had 9 shoulder dislocations and two surgeries on my left shoulder, so my "I'm a hugger" hosts, I LOVE hugs, but just be mindful of my f'ed up shoulder please. Thank you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the most amazing opportunity I have at my work is to interact with many different, unique individuals with a multitude of experiences. Ultimately, I have grown as a person and a counselor through the lessons of others. Through traveling, I hope to collect as many insights as possible to integrate into my own life. The more you know, the better you know :)
