CURRENT MISSION
Exploring Hawaii
ABOUT ME
I am originally from Southern California- Dana Point. I lived in San Francisco for three years during undergrad, and fell in love with the city. I spent one year living on the east coast- Hoboken, New Jersey- followed by three months in Denver where I completed my yoga teacher training. After Denver I packed two bags and moved to Hawaii indefinitely. I have not done much international traveling the past two years as I have been moving around the states a lot, but prior to that I tried to escape reality at least twice a year.
PHILOSOPHY
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover".
Mark Twain
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
As of right now, I do not have a couch to offer, but I am always willing to give local advice and I love to meet fellow surfers and exchange stories.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My experience has mostly been exchanging emails with fellow travelers about recommendations. I am yet to surf an actual couch, but I have met fellow travelers for coffee/drinks and stories.

Teach, Learn, Share
Pack light- I almost always bring more stuff than I actually need.
Bring Garlic Salt- Kira (a good friend and fellow couch surfer) taught me this trick and it has come in handy on more than one occasion.
