About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make new friends!

ABOUT ME

My life is filled with live music, beach days, my dog leo, hula hoop dancing, skateboarding, hiking, riding my bike, etc...!

PHILOSOPHY

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I pretty much love all people so I am excited to meet new people and learn about them. I am very interested in different cultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a wonderful time hosting travelers in my apartment in San Luis Obispo. Then I traveled in Asia for six months and did some surfing there. Now I am traveling around Europe and surfing a lot. When I get home and actually have a home again, I look forward to hosting once again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to keep my horse near the beach in Santa Barbara and gallop bareback down the beach at sunset. No matter how many times I did it, I would still be blown away by how lucky I am.

I can definitely teach you how to hula hoop!
