About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being able to be a part of this wonderful community of couch surfers. I surfed across the US when I moved to San Diego and I would love to be there for others in need of a couch :D

Double Vaxxed and Boosted!

ABOUT ME

I'm a creative designer that keeps up with media, video games, movies, music, yoga, and loves to explore new things, swing dance, and be in the water–pool, hot tub, ocean, I love it all!

PHILOSOPHY

Living for today the best way I can

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like helping people out and staying on a couch instead of in a hotel room is very helpful for someone who can't always afford a hotel. Plus it's more fun!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to Mexico, the Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic. I have jumped fifty feet into a cavernous lagoon and there is a lighthouse near where I live that I like to go out to with my friends and jump off the base into Lake Erie. I grew up on a farm and have owned horses, sheep, ducks, raccoons, hedge hogs, cats, dogs, and everything in between.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I can teach you how to swing dance, lindy hop, charleston, blues dance, and maybe a bit of cha cha.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Fold out couch bed and a chaise, with blankets and pillows. A shower, towels, soap, maybe some light snacks and drinks.
