CURRENT MISSION

Make everyone's day just a little bit better

ABOUT ME

I am an athletic trainer at UC Davis, an outdoor enthusiast, a (wannabe) yogi, a foodie and kind of a dirtbag (in a good way).

PHILOSOPHY

I consider myself a pretty respectful person, "live and let live" so to speak. I strive to make any interaction with another person a positive one. I really enjoy making people smile and laugh. I am very loyal to my friends and family and would rather listen than talk. I love learning from other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couch surfed across the US of A while I was road tripping/moving from New Hampshire to California. Also, my last roommates were really into hosting so I met a bunch of cool people that way. I'd like to start hosting soon, but gotta get a little more established in my new place first!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

INCREDIBLE! Eye-opening, full of gratitude, ecstatic to find so many like minded people out there. I am incredibly grateful to the CSers I met in Boulder who made my time there unforgettable.

Interests

I am a pretty active person; I love to ride my bike, run, do yoga, anything involving rivers, hike and backpack in the summer, snowboard in the winter, jump rope, throw the frisbee, have fun. One thing I really live for is getting out nice and far into the backcountry. My three favorite things are being outside, laughing, and sharing stories. I also really enjoy good food, especially tacos :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I really do love all kinds of music, but especially bluegrass! Nothing makes you want to dance quite like a few good knee slappin rounds on a fiddle. I love to read! I find that I really enjoy fantasy type books, the golden compass series is a favorite... Dream and Memory is also an incredibly sad but beautifully written book. Right now I'm pretty into Gregory Maguire's books. I'm just finishing "Wicked" and looking forward to starting "The Ugly Stepsister". I LOVE funny movies! Zoolander and Super Troopers are some favorites. I also love Forrest Gump and When Harry Met Sally.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most incredible things I've ever seen is a mama grizzly bear nursing her two baby cubs. It blew my mind to see such a massive, aggressive animal being so nurturing and motherly! Another thing that takes my breath away every time is Lake Tahoe. Its one of my favorite places on earth and no matter what I'm doing there or from which direction I see it, I never get tired of looking at that beautiful lake.
