CURRENT MISSION

Finish school. Keep my traveling active.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a little town called Sonoma in the wine country of California. Spent most of my life there until college, except for living a year in Oregon closer to some family. Graduated high school moved to Monterey where I went to school to become a math teacher. I studied a year in Sweden and now am back in California finishing my math degree.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy? Hmm... maybe to help others enjoy their lives. If the people around me are happy, generally I'm happy too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a few people and have absolutely enjoyed their company! I surfed in Windsor UK and had a great time meeting a couple fellow surfers :)
