CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible while I'm still young

ABOUT ME

Laid back, artsy, musical, bartender, blogger, California girl, world traveler.

PHILOSOPHY

To try everything once, always keep an open mind, and to constantly step outside of my comfort zone. To live life as an adventure, and to see the world with the curiosity of a child.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been using couchsurfing since 2013 when I moved over to Australia & NZ on my own. I've hosted in Melbourne and surfed in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, Australia, and have only had positive experiences.

Now that I'm settled for awhile in Portland, Oregon, I've been hosting over here as well and I've met some wonderful people in the process.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took culinary classes in Florence, Italy for a month during college, I tasted some of the best food of my life in Italy!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm teaching myself the ukulele at the moment, so if you're interested in learning a new instrument, it may improve my own skills too! I also play guitar and love cooking, both of which I'd be happy to teach or share.

Home cooked food and/or cookies, travel anecdotes, and music.
