Im a 26 year old friendly lady who loves to cackle, do arts and crafts, talk about herbs and care for my community. Im pretty darn fun and enjoy time in the sun, exploring new land, adventuring with my dog Berkeley James and having positive interactions with new friends. Im very easy going and value honesty and open communication. I grew up in San Diego and have now been living in Portland, OR for 7 years- I love the Pacific NW! I appreciate being grounded and use a lot of holistic approaches to fulfill my daily life. I have a very motherly spirit and you'll often find me embracing life with my full heart!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've lived in a house that hosted couchsurfers for many years and I think its a beautiful way to open up the door for new friends. I've always had an open door policy and am am now hoping to be on the other end.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste is pretty eclectic, I enjoy anything with soul and sultry vocals. I love to be serenaded, but also like to shake my booty. I appreciate music that makes me feel alive and connected. As far as movies go- the cheesier the better in my opinion, I love romantic comedies and silly family movies. Books- my favorite author is Paulo Coelho. I love reading biographies or stories of peoples adventures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2014 I hiked part of the Anapurna Circuit in Nepal. I spent a couple weeks in Nepal and it was a life changing experience. I got the opportunity to see the world from a very different perspective and am ever grateful for it.
