So I just found about this amazing website via my brother who heard it from a friend, etc, etc . I'm a super bubbly, outgoing and down to earth 31 year old female in the hospitality industry. Making people happy is what I do 24/7/365! Working for a hotel allows me to meet guests from all over the world! I love going out almost every other night. Whether it's dinner with friends, co-ed softball on Mondays, co-ed Ice hockey (I'm a goal-tender) on Thursdays, or just catching the local minor league baseball team on Wednesday nights, I love being out and about. I'm animal friendly, great with maps, independent, clean, confident, super social and drama-free.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm gearing up for a European trip in the upcoming year and I'm trying out couch surfing domestically to see what it's about.

I'll be in Philadelphia for 3 nights/4 days from September 2nd through September 5th.

I love the idea of meeting locals who open their house to you. Great way to meet like minded people and make friends all over the place!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Booked a last minute San Francisco to Boston flight to see a friend in need of support from family and friends. I was with my friend a total of 16 hours before my return flight to SF so that I could return to work on-time.

"Amazing" is subjective…so I wasn't sure what to write. But I thought I'd relate something in regards to my character.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love being a local tour guide for the Bay Area. I don't know much in the way of teaching…other than if you need help in Spanish I do Habla Espanol.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My chocolates. I always bring chocolates from See's Candies, a California classic, for my hosts…or booze, whichever is preferable.

I know I'm not verified yet, but I am willing to do anything which will make my potential host more comfortable. Need to talk to my mom? Close friends? Add me on Facebook? Chat online/Skype/Whatsapp? Meet in a cafe/bar before letting me crash at your place for a few nights? Done! I can do all that. I'm ready to show that I'm trustworthy and respectful of my host. I am an ambassador of my family name, The Great State of California and always representing The Bay Area.
