I am a 25 year old graduate of UC Santa Cruz, exploring life through travel and career exploration. I love the outdoors and animals more than just about anything and am interested in herbalism and nutrition. If I have the pleasure of staying at your home I can happily cook, clean up after myself, and make tea concoctions!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now, I am taking a road trip up to Washington to visit family! Looking for people and homes to connect with, so that I can meet locals, share stories and food, and be able to afford my trip!

On another level, I'm on couchsurfing because I am a travel addict, and I believe that opening up your home and meeting new people is one of the most thrilling aspects of life and human connection. I thrive on sharing ideas and hearing different philosophies and points of view. I've hosted countless travelers throughout my college and young adult years, and have been hosted by many incredibly generous people throughout the US, Peru and India during my travels.

I hope to continue offering my home whenever possible to those who need a place to crash, and I appreciate the kindness of strangers who open up their homes to me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bought a one-way ticket to South America with no plans and almost no Spanish, stayed for 8 and a half months on a whirlwind spontaneous adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share
