I grew up in San Francisco, which is a great area to enjoy the different music and arts, a melting pot of all cultures around the world. I moved to England in 2016 to live with my other half and have really been enjoying living in another country! I have a love for traveling and being on the go, but once in a while just love to be a homebody and enjoy quality time with my hound dog Oscar. I am an herbalist and am a strong believer that plants can cure all ailments, also a massage therapist (massage can possibly be on offer for letting me stay at your home!) I love nature walks, reading, writing music on my ukulele, the ocean, rivers, lakes...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always had some one I have networked/know personally that I can stay with while traveling, I feel it you can really learn the community and area by staying with someone who actually lives it every day. I travel to be a local, not a tourist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

ziplined 900 ft down the rain forest in Kauai with three very good friends, in the middle of the tour was a watering hole with a waterfall where the guides provided us lunch and an hour to swim and enjoy being (somewhat) inside the inactive volcano.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are learning every day, growing every day and it is key to appreciate the simple things in life since those little things are what create the "bigger" picture.
