CURRENT MISSION

To explore and expand my knowledge of the world and its infinite cultures and people through travel, new experiences, and adventures

ABOUT ME

I am unlike anyone you will ever meet. I am confident and outgoing, but prefer to spend my time with the select few people I have become very close with. I have the ability to be overwhelming and someone you can't get enough of at the same time. I can be distant and cold but have the biggest heart in the world. I am a hopeless romantic and enjoy doing all the little things for friends, family and my husband. I am always super busy and love being busy, but can always make time for those things and people that are important to me. I am constantly learning and enjoy new experiences but tend to be set in my ways. I am opinionated and love a good debate, but don't always handle criticism well. Often people mistake me for being snobby or stuck up but I am usually just keeping to myself. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, Oakland specifically. I have been here since October of 2005. I love watching sports, in particular the Oregon Ducks. I love the game of football, while I prefer college, I can sit and watch all four Sunday pro games if I am in the mood. I am athletic and work for myself as the CEO/Founder of Truve a private training facility and wellness center and as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist. I specialize in sports specific training. I have worked with a few NFL players, an NBA player, multiple triathletes, as well as many college and highschool athletes involved in various sports. In addition to athletes I will work with anyone interested in changing the quality of their life through exercise and nutrition. I love working with kids. I have coached cross-country, soccer, and track & field in Piedmont and Berkeley, Ca as well as Eugene, OR. In addition to coaching and training.... I am currently working to get my own non-profit sustainable in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, dedicated to the youth there. I hope to change the lives and living conditions for the youth there through my non-profit and the work I will be doing in 3 areas, academics, athletics, and community service/development.

PHILOSOPHY

Something positive comes out of every single situation no matter how horrible the situation seems at present.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never surfed a couch or had someone surf mine... but I am great at meeting up and welcoming someone to the area :)

My husband and I love to travel. We actually met in Costa Rica when I was traveling there and he moved 4 years ago to California to be with me. We love learning about new cultures, meeting new people, and living like locals do.
