About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take my licensure test and travel more.

ABOUT ME

I am a pretty outgoing person. I love to travel and go on adventures; and I usually decide to do both on a whim. I recently got out of a serious relationship and I'm just trying to get back in touch with myself. I'm a California native. I've been a vegetarian for 12 years with several bouts of veganism thrown in. I DIY too many things to count. I'm definitely that person who sees something and is like, nawww I could make that. And then I do!

PHILOSOPHY

"Have faith in the innocence of humanity."

Not everyone in this world is a "bad" person. Although there are a few people out there who could possibly cause you harm, the majority are just kind hearted individuals.

If you spend your time worrying about all the bad that could happen, you waste your life and never truly LIVE. Trust in people, put your faith in them, and only turn away when they have proven you wrong.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm NEW! I've actually never participated officially through the CS site/app. However, I have stayed with friends of friends in other cities/countries on several occasions. I'd like to be more active this year.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I only have amatuer experience. As in, I occasionally sleep on my own couch or on the couches of friends, or friends of friends.

Interests

I love dance, photography, DIY projects, hiking, reading, coffee, and vegan food. I am vegan by the way, but I usually have to sacrifice that choice when traveling. When I do travel, I try to stick to a mostly vegan diet, but I will make vegetarian exceptions when there is no other alternative. I also don't judge meat eaters

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing...I pretty sure that I have done many average things that allowed me to have an amazing time. Amazing is a relative term.

If I had to choose, I would say my musical theatre trip to London or my volunteer trip to Peru.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know what to say...I could teach the wonders of appreciation and supreme procrastination.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My witty personality and pointless Harry Potter facts.

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Mexico, Peru, Spain, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
