I grew up next to strawberry fields and lemon groves in Southern California, then moved to the San Francisco Bay Area for the city life. Now, I live in a cozy home in Waterloo, Iowa with my partner and cuddly cat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually host, but I'll be traveling throughout Eastern Iowa for business meetings and would love to get to know my new community. I enjoy hosting just as much as traveling if not more. When hosting, I want to share my story with others through my home and create a comfortable place for people to rest, laugh, and just be.
