About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make new friends on the East Coast and try to meet as many travelers as possible

ABOUT ME

Well, let's see here... I am a California girl born and raised. I also received a very liberal upbringing which makes me open to anything and everyone. I am an extremely easy going person that enjoys life as it comes. I will try everything at least once. Somehow I find a way to do all the things I think a human should or should not do in their lifetime. I seem to be a magnet for people with like minds and I enjoy even the ones I encounter on the opposite end of the spectrum. All in all I really invite connections from every direction. It's all we have really.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel advice from a stranger is like a dancing lesson from the Gods

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the past I have hosted people from all over. I have even created a mini hostel out of my apartment. I have hosted five people at once and it became a great party. When I traveled around the world I was lucky enough to not only stay with numerous couchsurfers, but to meet many of them as well. CouchSurfing has created some of the best traveling experiences of my lifetime. So far.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is a great way to immerse yourself into the local culture. It really gives you the opportunity to learn something about the place you are visiting! It takes out the stepping stone that you need to cross when you are in a new and completely different situation. In my experience I felt an immediate comfort as soon as I arrived. It's as if you are going to a friends house that you have so much to learn from.

Interests

I enjoy yoga, running, hiking, painting, writing, reading and cooking. I know traveling is my greatest interest. It allows me to do my most favorite thing, which is to get lost. It gives you a chance to stop and observe the moment. I pretty much enjoy doing anything especially if it is completely new.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am obsessed with Kurt Vonnegut right now. He is considered to be one of America's greatest fiction writers. I have read Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse Five, Breakfast of Champions, JailBird and I am currently reading Galapagos. I also love Autobiography of a Yogi, Lord of the Flies, catcher in the Rye etc. Too many books to name! As far as music just about everything! There isn't anything I won't find entertaining. Music is magic!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently I learned how to eat fire! It's an amazing adrenaline rush and it's easier than it looks. It just takes a little courage and a few taste buds!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Spanish as well as how to make great salsa. I am also learning how to make cheese! French Macarons are also one of my specialties.
