CURRENT MISSION

To find adventure, to find beauty and humor, to let good things happen, to give back to the world the best that I can--whether by making someone laugh or making a painting.

ABOUT ME

I live to surf, travel to surf, work to surf. That is not to say that I am by any means an expert at surfing. I just really enjoy it. I am easily pleased. Give me the sun, the ocean, and some waves and I am a very happy girl.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the best I can be, but also slow down to really see and appreciate and enjoy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you venture into Orange County, you can have my couch. If you live in Puerto Rico, I would very much like to stay on your couch. I am not a good cook, but I am very good at doing the dishes!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently set two of my girl friends up with an unofficial couch surfing experience when they were going on a road trip and passed through a city where a friend of mine from college lives.

Interests

Skateboarding, surfing, photography, any and all new foods, laughing, hammocks.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies, just not scary ones. My favorite music artists change roughly about every week! I am a huge fan of books. Once I devour one, I do my best to give it away to someone else to read. Finished books can become precious in more of a symbolic rather than a useful way. My philosophy of owning just what I need in the moment or near future (with few exceptions) over-rides my strong desire to hold onto my favorite books. When I run into a book I have already read, it reminds me of what I was doing, where I was living, and the people around me when I read it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My mother go through breast cancer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really love helping people--especially women--get into new sports. If you want to know what type of surfboard is best for you, where to go rock climbing, how to prepare for a race, game, or some bikram yoga, I would be happy to be of use to you.
