CURRENT MISSION

To fight for a socially just world, empowering one student at a time.

ABOUT ME

Sister, daughter, educator, creative and performing artist, traveler, and activist. A recent college graduate, rediscovering and redefining what "home" means. After living in San Diego for 4 years, most of my time has been split between the foggy streets of San Francisco and the vast roads of San Diego. I love trying new things, meeting new people, and sharing knowledge and stories. I am an easygoing, friendly, and passionate individual. I am a coffee-shop hopper, an avid tea drinker, and a lover of all types of foods.

PHILOSOPHY

I embrace change, and I am grounded in my identities, experiences, and values. I believe that storytelling is one of the greatest tools for human connection. I am informed through my past, live through the present, and am driven by my future.

“Living simply makes loving simple.”
― Bell Hooks

“I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.”
― Audre Lorde

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am fresh to the couchsurfing community, but I hope to become more engaged as I offer my space and surf other spaces, sharing experiences and interests.

Interests

I love the outdoors, fresh air, backpacking, hiking, going down the road less traveled, the sound of waves crashing, the smell of a fresh rain, and the sound of leaves rustling. I am a creative and performing artist at heart, dancing, singing, writing, and drawing are my passions. I also love anything and everything that has to do with food: cooking, baking, beverages, exploring restaurants, and finding secret gems at every place I go.
