I love meeting all types of people and am always down for something new -- we all have common ground and differences, and both those things are exciting. I grew up in northern California and went to school in Berkeley, where I lived in a huge, beautifully chaotic co-operative house full of great people. After living in another (smaller!) co-op in Boston, I have returned to the west coast to continue studying psychology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have surfed in Europe, the U.S. Pacific NW, and New Zealand and have had awesome experiences all around. Met some chill people, saw and experienced parts of foreign cities that I never would have seen otherwise...it's been amazing! I also loved hosting in Berkeley and while I can't currently host, I would be excited to meet up with travelers!
