About Me

Well, I'm kinda crazy. but usually in a good way:)

Make friends ,enjoy life, C'est la vie. Share fun/crazy travel stories.
I also have a SPECIAL 1980's themed room for my guests

Couchsurfing is not a dating app.
If you don't have references from GUESTS, please don't send me a request. Get some references first.

I can possibly host for longer time, but before that I prefer to host from 1-2 nights to see if we can get on well with each other, then decide.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🥞🥗 🌯🥘🥂Laugh together. Explore, swim, sweet desserts.

Lived in Europe.

I'm a dreamer, sensitive, always in need of good vibes, I'm a honest person and like to meet people from all over the world and hang out with them and maybe you too.
I am passionate about human behavior, especially in relation to one's interactions with others, I am creative.

If you're a flake or just looking for a free place to stay, then move on. I'm tired of unreliable people who have no respect for a host's time or commitment.

Coachella has given me lots of requests lately. I'm not in Indio but between Palm Springs and L.A.

There are two nearby lakes- the largest is Lake Elsinore. It's the largest natural freshwater lake in Southern California!! 14 miles of shoreline for picnics, beer drinking, and relaxing. It covers nearly 3,000 acres-that's 1214. hectares!!
