I am a 26 year old queer women currently living in the coastal town of Santa Barbara in California. I graduated from UC Davis with Sociology and Electrical Engineering which landed me an international manufacturing business development position. I worked for Uni Precision for 3 years and decided it wasn't for me... Since I've left I've been enjoying my time with family, I've been traveling, and enjoying the wonderful outdoors of California with my dog!

I love the outdoors and breathtaking views. But I can also truly appreciate a quiet moment with a cup of warm tea just people watching! I have eclectic music taste and can enjoy anything that will get me moving (even though I look ridiculously silly) to anything that will relax me to sleep. I am easily interested in many things but in order to get me deep into a subject I must truly love it deep down. As of right now it is my wonderful pup and the outdoors that engage the depths of my soul. It breaks my heart a little that Rosco cannot join me across the seas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be traveling through Europe for the first time in my life this September 2016. My friends lives in Germany so I will be with her while in Germany. Afterward I head to Spain for a tour. However, I'm getting in 2 days early so I can explore a little of the Barcelona life on my own. Ideally, I'd like to check out the outdoors. I spend much of my time rock climbing and surfing and would love to do either of those activities while in Barcelona on my own. After Spain I will be traveling through Italy with a friend of mine. First stop is Rome and we will work our way up to Florence. My last stop will be in France on the French Riviera.
