Young, Broke AF™ woman raised in lovely southern California. Bit of an adrenaline junkie (or trying to be, at least). Hoping to go skydiving for the first time in the next year, and I'm in the process of getting PADI-certified! I collect vinyl and tattoos, though again, low funds can make that difficult. Easy-going, open-minded, and trying to experience as much of the world as I possibly can. Working towards a degree in Linguistics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Searching primarily for ways to meet wonderful people from around the world and travel without having to sell any essential organs for funding.

Interests

Travel, concerts (always a slut for classic and alt rock, but I'm down for just about anything honestly), good books, great food, questionable television, world history, new experiences in general.

Teach, Learn, Share

Native English speaker, always happy to help if you're trying to learn/improve/refresh your knowledge!

Was a competitive swimmer and water polo player, so swim training/lessons are always on the table.

Culture exchanges are always fun, I'll tell you about life in CA if you tell me about life by you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Impromptu English lessons.
I make a kick-ass tiramisu.
More than willing to help out with general housework/errands, especially if it's an extended stay.
Info on SoCal culture and subcultures?
WILL geek out with you over just about anything.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions!
