I'm currently living and working in the Napa Valley where I sell wine by day and make fine jewelry by night. My hobbies are researching tiny homes (which I hope to build one day soon), studying gemology, visiting the California coast, and eating and drinking the great food and wine that my boyfriend makes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I've been hosting friends-of-friends for as long as I've been able, this is my first foray into the official website. I'm starting off by hoping to find a place to stay while I visit Tucson in February for the gem show but I'm sure that I'll use this site a good bit if things work out well. I've heard some great stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read everything from Tina Fey to Buddhist teachings to tiny home manuals but I'm currently studying gemology in every free minute that I can find.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been very fortunate to have had a lot of opportunity come my way. I've lived in about 10 different states and a couple of countries and feel very lucky to have friends all over the world. I still have a lot that I want to see but when staying home means spending my weekend in the Napa Valley, I have no complaints about that either.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach about wine in the tasting room for my day job but I think that I'm more eager to learn from others while off the clock.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I travel lightly and would be a very courteous and thankful guest. I currently have a great job but I'm watching every penny so that I can get my personal jewelry business off the ground soon. If you think that I'd be a good fit for your home, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
Thanks!
