I'm passionate about people and culture. I've had amazing opportunities from meeting people who've inspired me to keep going while living in China and Peru. I've been living in Chicago for the past year teaching with my partner. We would love to meet new folks!
I'm originally from California, ( Tahoe---LA)
I'm a go with the flow and spontaneous person when it comes to traveling. I love a good beer and conversation. I'm open minded to new perspectives, that's how we grow!
Its a balance of empathy and self-love for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to make more connections around the world. Conversations about each other's worlds and ideas. Because I often don't plan out my trips, it'd be great to turn to couch surfing if needed.

Music, Movies, and Books

Paulo Coelho is my favorite author ever!
you can't beat "The Alchemist"

Anthony Bourdain, Parts Unknown, inspired me to just go places with no judgement.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I've done volunteering, teaching, and partying. I've had my fair share of pulling all nighters dancing to beautiful music, along with sitting in a room with food poisoning. All the experiences teach us.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share stories of travels with others. I've made amazing friends on almost every continent. I'm happy to arrange and talk to people in order to help a fellow traveller.
