About Me

I was born and raised in the beautiful weather of southern California and moved to Berkeley to study Sustainable Environmental Design. I am very passionate about living green and progressing towards a more sustainable future. I focus a lot of my life on minimizing my impact and making the world a better place.

I am warm-hearted and loving. My energy is typically very calm, but I sure love playing and having a good time. Laughter really is the best medicine. I enjoy free flowing and following the patterns of life.

I've been following a vegan lifestyle for 6 years. Its a really important part of myself and has changed my life in more ways than I imagined. (I promise I'm not preachy, just willing to educate if you're curious). I believe that leading by example is the best way for people to learn for themselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I really love traveling of course. I did a lot of traveling through home exchange. Where you swap places with someone for an agreed amount of time. That was a really great way to live like a local and gain insight into someones life, just by staying in their home.

I'm really interested in how people live and their stories. I believe couch surfing is a wonderful and beautiful way to develop connections with people. You'll find out you have a lot more in common with people from across the world than you thought.

I really enjoy spontaneity and adventure, so I hope to be a part of some thrilling experiences abroad.

Interests

I enjoy experiencing culture through the arts and nature. The arts (performance, music, painting...) are so universal. Its truly amazing to be able to relate to these arts on a global scale.

Nature is profoundly important to my being. I enjoy taking in the culture of local parks, to backpacking through mountains, and everything in between. Breathing in that fresh air and reconnecting.
