Hello, I'm Michaela, 29 years old, currently making my move from Fairfield Iowa where I recently graduated, back home to Northern California. I am new to Couchsurfing, but looking to meet people from all over the world who I can share fun and meaningful conversations with. I enjoy cooking, listening to live music, DANCING until my legs ache, drinking wine and craft beers, CAMPING, picking wild berries, and immersing myself in different cultures. I am interested in everything related to sustainability and creating positive change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking forward to meeting strangers and engaging in conversations to learn something from one another.

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS: Just about any book from Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou (RIP), novels especially with tragic stories but with positive endings :)

MOVIES: Moonlight, Mississippi Damned, Pulp Fiction, Boogie Nights, 50 First Dates

MUSIC: I love almost everything except metal music, but maybe because I haven't heard of any good songs? Some of my favorite genre include oldies, electronic, funk, classic and soft rock, bluegrass, and folk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Risked my life flying above the clouds, falling through the sky, overlooking the Hawaiian Islands. An absolutely insane idea but certainly one of the best experiences of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Patience.
