About Me

Update #5
Covid! Ruins everything. We also had a child, so lots has changed, but once covid- is over we can host! Unless you are local, and take Covid Seriously...we can discuss if you need to crash.
Our bunny died, so we just have the two kitties.

Update #4
My spare room is my office, we have a lovely couch that folds into a full like bed. It's the kind you push the back forward to drop it down- not a futon, but a futon? Photos coming soon. Unfortunately no private bedroom, but you get your own bathroom. We just have the two cats, we had to say goodbye to Lola Jan 3 this year. :(
We will start accepting guests soon! Stay tuned, message us regardless (if you can) I just have a massive 545 mile bike ride from SF to LA June 3-9th and then we can start hosting 2018. :) Cheers!

Update #3

I have finished school... FINALLY...and currently share my space with my partner, Mark. We live in a duplex with 2 cats and a bunny. We both love to travel, and currently I'm starting up a business. So I won't be going anywhere anytime soon :(

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Update: I love meeting and greeting people~

I have couch surfed twice, and met up once, thus far. All experiences have been incredibly awesome and I have made some amazing friends along the way!

Interests

Swimming, snorkeling, hang gliding (I would love to do)
sailing, everything with the water

Hiking, rock climbing, camping, cycling, kayaking, jogging (only sometimes) Working out,

eating new foods, learning new languages, dancing!, Art, Ceramics, painting... music, I live for music... just about anything and everything, if I haven't done it I am game to try it. I will hesitate but that's just nerves~

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have much interest in movies per say. I enjoy them, but I don't store them in my head, same with music, I love all music, so I can't claim any in particular that I'm interested in...and books... Its very hard for me to focus on reading them. Sometimes, seldom I find a good one that I can't put down...at that point, I LOVE reading! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Update: Cycled the Aids Lifcycle from SF to LA in 2018!!! Super great.

Backpacking in Europe alone, and observing different cultures in 4 countries in 2 months. I look back and often find myself daydreaming about the moments I got to share with strangers that Couch surfing brought into my life, or myself in theirs. Unique and ever-lasting that I look forward to continuing as long as I am alive :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can throw pottery, I can share my views on life in its positive light, and I can help out in most things. I was living on a farm, so I know how to do farm work.

I raised my own fruits/veggies. I know some animal health over all...
But bear with me on teaching...it's hard to convey thoughts into words sometimes

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nature! My new residence is perfect if you need some down time, I have a hammock that overlooks and apple orchard and the deer are constantly begging :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Denmark, Germany, Guam, Italy, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In

Iraq, United States
