I'm just a normal 25 year old from California whose eager to experience everything life has to offer. I'm relaxed and laid back with a horrible sense of humor; my speciality being puns. I have a love affair with literature, traveling, and tattoos.

I recently left my job of two and a half years as an Executive Assistant to the CEO of an California almond processing and export corporation to backpack the US and Europe. I am from the outskirts of Modesto, CA where I was on the Central Committee of the San Joaquin County Green Party. I am also halfway finished with my double major in Economics and Political Science before I took this sabbatical.

I am immeasurably excited to see as much of America and Europe as possible and can hardly wait to meet you. I have a passion for meeting new people especially since everyone I’ve met so far on my adventure has been incredibly kind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've backpacked and traveled throughout Mexico in the summer of 2011 soon after I graduated from San Diego High. I started in Tijuana where I made my way down to Michoacán before going to Mexico City and finally back to Tijuana.

Last Summer I backpacked most of the states west of the Mississippi!

Teach, Learn, Share

We love meeting new people and learning about their lives and stories. We have had pretty eventful lives ourselves and truth really does tend to be stranger than fiction.

What I Can Share with Hosts
