About Me

Graduated from UCSB with a degree in Economics and accounting. I quit my job in Santa Barbara in 2015 to travel for one week with Yacht week, but ended up buying a one way ticket "just in case" and ended up traveling for 11 months ..some of Europe, SEA, NP Islands.. Best times of my life and I can't wait to do it again, with a little more experience this time......

Update!: I did it again ;) But this time I am working remotely (win-win) I have been living in Bali since May 2019 and will be here until November 2019, then the plan was to move to NZ on my work holiday visa but I just recently decided (yesterday) I wanted to visit Tasmania on my way over for a few weeks. I'm planning to arrive Early November and stay until Nov 25th ish. Would love love to meet some awesome people to connect with, and If I could stay with them also, that would be a huge plus! I love to experience things as the locals do ( I often find myself in situations where I am the only foreigner in groups and I love it).
I have a travel blog you can check out if you wish www.everysixweeks.com

I am easy going, fun to be around, have a positive attitude, love eating and cooking good food and drinking good wine. I like spicy cocktails, enjoying nightlife in new cities(not necessarily the club life... Happy hour with a good view life lol ), and enjoy meeting new people. I also enjoy and cherish some good quality quiet time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting awesome people, and awesome people do weird things, and let's be honest, couch surfing is a weird/ awesome concept. So here I am.

Hoping to do a little hosting along the way and return the favor! - I am currently traveling but when I return (or find a new) home, I will be doing the same!

Interests

I like exploring new cities and foods, I like to watch sports live such as basketball, tennis, volleyball, baseball -anything live i think is exciting. I like working on fitness and eating healthy when I am at home-I find it a bit more difficult while traveling-and less fun :b but I do try to keep a nice balance. We can talk more in person, you get the gist of it :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like oldies, rock n roll types of music.

Comedies, horror, rom-com, ... I havent owned a TV for probably 10 years

I like personal self help books, I haven't read anything else in a while - but since living in bali someone just handed over Eat Pray Love, I think I have to at least attempt it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I disliked my last job/boss, I quit, gave one weeks notice, and within 8 days I was on a yacht in croatia and haven't looked back since. (I wrote that now almost two years ago, but I'd do it again! and I plan to-shh dont tell my boss)

2019 update: Opps I did it agian
except I told my boss I'm taking my job with me and he was cool with it. You can read more about that on my blog if you were curious or happy to tell you in person!
