I was born and raised in central California and moved to San Francisco for college. I loved it so much I decided to stay, and since then I have been travelling, teaching, learning, growing, and meeting people from all over the world. I have been teaching English in Thailand for the past year and I am going back to California end of October. But first, I plan on travelling to Bali. One place I have been dying to go for a long time now...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, get a different perspective on life, get to know a country through the local community, and of course-make new friends!

Interests

I love FOOD. I love to cook, eat, try different things. I'm very open-minded when it comes to tasting culinary delights from different countries. I LOVE LOVE to dance, and I am a hoop girl. If you don't know what that is it means.. I like to dance/perform/do tricks/play with hula hoops. Maybe I can show you! :) I'm also into hiking, camping, attempting to surf, yoga, drinking good coffee, and making people laugh.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any thing I can dance to I am all for! I'm also very much into music-all kinds but mostly reggae, rock, and classic Favorite movie-Donnir Darko. I also am a big fan of scary movies. Books...too many. I'll say Paulo Caulho is my favorite author.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode a camel into the Sahara Desert to watch the sunrise...that was pretty cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to hula hoop ..well :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

STORIES! I've got tons of them. Also, I'm pretty interested in becoming involved in the community I'm visiting in some way or another. Whether that means volunteering, cooking, cleaning..haha I just want a cultural experience and my hope is that I can return the favor somehow.
