Just moved back to California after 12 years abroad.

I lovvvveeee the outdoors.. seriously makes me the happiest!

I love exploring places by foot - stopping along the way to notice the little things. I love taking photography, music and trying local foods (if they are vegetarian).

I love talking to people and asking questions about their lives! Not only the basic small talk, but their pet peeves and philosophies on life. I’ve learned so much from others and want to continue doing so :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want more experiences getting to know people and traveling with locals. I think the bubble that a hostel creates sometimes distances me from the real travel experience that I’m looking for.

My parents always set a great example for me of hosting guests and showing them around the sights in Sunny San Diego and I think it’s a very special way to connect with people.
