I'm an American travel-lover who's resided up and down the west coast all my life (Portland, LA, Seattle) - feel free to pick my brain on shopping, music and foodie culture! I'm a previous nightlife host and performer, so I love to dance and meet people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and sharing experiences. I would like to meet people from all over the world and have an amazing network of friends worldwide. Adventures are only as good as the company you spend them with.
