CURRENT MISSION

Seeing as much of the natural beauty around the world as I can.

ABOUT ME

I grew up as a competitive gymnast and have forevermore been involved in sports, hiking, yoga and outdoorsy nature things. I love the fine arts, and the culture gained from travelling and meeting fellow travelers.

I graduated in 2010 from UC Santa Barbara with a BA in Global Studies and Spanish. Currently working at a social music-making application company with the mission to connect the world through music.

PHILOSOPHY

In this phase of my life: Find the balace between work and play and istening to my body and taking care of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to spread tolerance around. I want people to think about their judgments on foreigners and hopefully after having experiences with them they think differently and are not so quick to judge. I want to meet new people and learn from them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every experience with Couchsurfing has improved the trip more than you can put into words. Being shown around and taken out by local people give you an experience you cannot experience any other way. Meeting Marino in Napoli, Italy was the best international experience I've ever had. He opened his home to my friend and I, taught us us how to cook Pasta Carbonara, introduced us to his friends, took us out, showed us beautiful scenery, and made us feel right at home. We skipped our following destination just to get more time with him and his friends. Thank you Marino!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode Camels in the Sahara and stayed in Berber tents.

Teach, Learn, Share
