Ciao!

I’m an outgoing person with a sunny disposition and a big sense of adventure.

Professionally, I work as a Communications Manager for an environmental non-profit based in the Bay Area. I work hybrid these days, but for a while I was a digital nomad, living in different cities and working around the world.

I also have my own marketing consulting business on the side, so needless to say I like to keep busy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the community and how incredible some of my trips have been because of people I’ve met through it. I think you learn so much more and feel like a local when you Couchsurf. I also enjoy seeing the less touristy things and getting a more authentic, local experience of what a place is like.

Interests

I like to do things outside of my comfort zone and value experiences that can become great stories down the line.

• arts
• culture
• concerts
• music festivals
• cooking
• traveling
• socializing
• music
• hiking

Music, Movies, and Books

Definitely love anything Indie and chill, but depending on my mood enjoy faster-paced rock or punk like The Frights and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. 70-90s music is awesome too. And I’ve gone to a couple raves / edm concerts so uhh my music taste is all over the place.

I’m a big fan of movies and my favorite genres are superhero, syfy, and action adventure.

Reading! It's a hobby I've loved since I was a kid and I've recently been reconnecting with that. Mostly fiction, fantasy, and spicy YA novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent two weeks backpacking over 200 miles through the John Muir trail in California. One of the most difficult yet rewarding things I’ve ever done

I stayed awake for 48 hours at the Fiesta de San Fermin - Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain , and consumed an inhuman amount of Sangria

I lived in Paraguay for two months with a host family doing community development and cultural exchange work. I spoke only spanish and the native language (Guarani)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I look to cook, take great photos, and love trading travel stories. So let me take cool pictures of you, make you food, or just be great company exploring a city or hanging out at home.
