About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I love meeting new people and seeing new places. I'm happy going out to a club, sitting in a small pub, walking around a city or town, cooking, snowboarding, hiking, or doing anything active. I like a little bit of everything!

ABOUT ME

I get along with almost anyone, and I'm up for almost anything. I love meeting new people and seeing new places, and I'm really a genuinely happy person. I am very outgoing and I'll talk to anyone at anytime.

PHILOSOPHY

Wow, I wasn't prepared for this! All I can say is that I don't let myself get too stressed out because anxiety is a wasted emotion. If I can change something that is bothering me, I will try. If I can't, then I get over it.

I also try to be as thankful as I can for the opportunities I get to have. I'm happy to have what I believe is a good life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just found this website, so I haven't done anything yet! I'm hoping to meet some new people while traveling, and then when I move back to California, I can't wait to give back the same opportunity.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies- anything obnoxious and hilarious! I watch movies to laugh.
Books- A Clockwork Orange, Wuthering Heights, Fight Club, Prodigal Summer, The Sun Also Rises
Music- a bit of everything! Right now I really like Foster The People's album and I'm still listening to Manu Chao and oldies like Bing Crosby.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hate questions like this because I always remember something cooler later. Um, I have climbed one of Colorado's 14ers (mountains over 14,000 feet), and seeing the other snowcapped mountains from the top and hearing NOTHING for miles around was truly breathtaking. I also just helped a dog deliver puppies, and while bizarre, it was also an amazing sight to see!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a ton of stories to share, but I also like experiencing new things and getting people out and about so I promise a fun time. I also take a lot of pictures, speak a good amount of French, and do a bit of writing, so I can help anyone with those if they're interested.
