About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I want to be a kid forever!

ABOUT ME
I believe in serendipity like a religion!

When I travel, I usually travel alone, mostly because the discovery of new friends along the journey is the best part. If I happen to meet someone who is going the same direction as me for a period of time then I enjoy the company, and someone to share the memories with. Life is beautiful that way.

I grew up on the Central Coast of California, halfway between LA and SF and I moved back after calling San Francisco home for 11 years. Growing up I spent a lot of time outdoors, hiking camping and still really enjoy all those activities today.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was formerly an incredibly active member who recently rejoined the site.

I have hosted, surfed, and organized a few events and meet-ups. I met some fantastic people through CSing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have had some amazing experiences and met some fantastic people, who were eager to meet me, too. They let me stay without any hesitation, and I was treated no differently than family.

Interests

I grew up riding horses and still love to go for a ride when I get a chance. I love being outside, going for walks, hikes, bicycling and generally enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. I do not surf, but I enjoy kayaking & river rafting and in the winter... Snowboarding is my jam. Any opportunity to try something new I will take it.
