I am from Northern California. I love meeting new people and going on new adventures. My favorite things happen outdoors and I enjoy exploring natural environments, trying different foods, and going anywhere where people are happy. One of my favorite things to do is gardening, and I dream that one day I can quit teaching and be a full time farmer. I love to paint and draw. I also love biking, longboarding, and running with my dog, Hendrix. I am in love with pizza and beer.

For college, I went to school at California State University at Chico.

I have been teaching since 2013. I've taught both elementary school and High School Science.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I have learned that love is the most important thing in life. Since I've had this realization, I have been spending more time making new friends and extending my family. That is one of the biggest reasons for me couchsurfing and traveling, I want to make new friends and increase the amount of love I have in my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very cleanly and always clean up after myself. I like peace and quiet but also enjoy noise. I'm easy to please and really am just excited and open to new experiences.
