About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm relatively new to world traveling but I'm a life-long explorer. As a Californian college student studying in Salamanca, Spain this past fall, I got to talk to, drink sangria with, and walk winding cobblestone streets next to new friends from all over the world. I'm back home now but I want to continue to meet new people everywhere I go, and to share stories and food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During most of the year I live in student housing in Claremont, CA, so I unfortunately don't have a couch to share at this moment. But I'd love to meet up for coffee. During the summer I'm in Berkeley, CA. I'd be more than happy to give you an in-depth tour of my town or San Francisco!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first (and so far only) couchsurfing experience in Pisa, Italy a few months ago. Our host was friendly and generous, and made me enthusiastic about meeting more of this fabulous community. I've also gotten coffee with a couple other surfers and I'm always up for meeting travelers while I'm stuck at home!

Interests

Talking, writing, reading, people-watching, eating, drinking, dancing, concert-going.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cramming into a shared taxi from the heart of Marrakesh to the High Atlas Mountains (and then being guided to the waterfalls by an entrepreneurial 13 yr old) has to be up there on my list of cool lifetime experiences!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you English and some Spanish. I can feed you the best pastries in Berkeley and the best tacos in Claremont. I would love to learn how to cook a variety of international dishes, and how to make anything crafty.
