About Me

I was born in California, moved to Florida when I was 12 years old, and just recently moved back to California. I've always felt that I belong on the West Coast, and I'm so excited to be back.

I work in digital marketing, and my job is slowly changing with the development of AI. I've decided to quit my job and go back to school to pursue my masters in data science to stay ahead of this massive shift.

Hopefully, I'll be accepted into a school in fall 2024 and decided to take a 4-month sabbatical in between to travel. Traveling is a passion of mine. I love learning about different climates, cuisines, and cultures and, most importantly, the people who make it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've only met amazing and awesome people on Couchsurfing. I love the concept of offering your home to a traveler and in return one day someone will off their home to you. Staying in a hotel or hostel is never the same experience. You need the raw insight and help from a local for a true adventure.

Interests

Wanderlust is real. I want to travel everywhere and see everything before I'm old and don't have the energy anymore.

My other interests include hiking, yoga, journaling, reading, and learning about other cultures and countries.
