I am a super friendly and fiery lady from LA. I love surfing, swimming, doing anything in the ocean - it tames my fire... I practice massage as well and that's a big part of my life, too. It's not just how I pay my rent, it's an art form. I get bodywork every week and I know that every therapist paints a different picture with their work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed three times in Ireland and met folks that I will never forget. I don't have great accommodation in my single apartment but it will be semi-comfortable for one person when I get at least an air mattress.

Everyone I've surfed with has been real hospitable and I've made some true friends along the way. Dublin Ireland's got a fantastic CS group with amazing people and ambassadors.

Interests

Surfing, playing chess, bouncing around Spotify! I base my life around the horrible traffic here in LA. I work, live, and go to school within an 8-mile radius. So I afford myself plenty of time to skate the boardwalk, surf in the mornings, swim in the afternoons, play around, research, study, work. Honestly, I am in absolutely love with life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll listen to anything funk reggae or with a good beat.
Some authors that have inspired something within would be Morgan Llywelyn, Ayn Rand, Deepak Chopra, and Jessica Maxwell (the first and last time I met Jessica was on a 45min plane from Scotland. I happened to sit next to her and experienced a conversation that would stay with me forever. Follow your heart, your world will open). Currently reading A Renegade History of the United States by Thaddeus Russel. Movies movies... my favorites are The Fountain, The Place Between the Pines and Dances with Wolves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Caught my first wave at Venice Beach

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess something I've learned is go with your instincts. First whims are usually good to follow through with. Throw your number out to some random person you think would be cool to grab a cup of coffee with. Smile, sing, dance in the streets! "Fuck Pain. Fuck Heartbreak. I'm still in love with life."

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with you my massage ability and how to make my famous tuna tostadas!!

For surfers looking for a place: I wish I could host you but my apartment.. well, it's not built for two people. When I can move to a larger place where surfers can have more privacy and a decent place even on the floor to crash, I'll be switching my sign over to Accepting Guests.
