CURRENT MISSION

Laugh. Explore. Go!

ABOUT ME

Hi All! I'm very outgoing and energetic. I love to do sports, especially if they're outside. I spent a year living in Chile hopping on a bus every weekend to explore some amazing new place and getting to know some incredible friends along the way. I worked as an outdoor guide for my University where I got to backpack, rock climb and kayak with a bunch of awesome people who felt a similar pull to run for the hills outside of the sprawling LA metropolis. After years working as a ski instructor, waitress, educator and public relations person I'm off to explore more of this fantastic planet full time.

PHILOSOPHY

The only constant is change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted some incredible and inspiring people while living in California and now I look forward to being on the couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had couchsurfers play ultimate frisbee with my friends, and hosted potlucks so that they could get a glimpse into my world. I've also been on the receiving end of delicious crepes and dancing with a great host till the sun rose in Bogotá, Colombia.

Music, Movies, and Books

Is this a trick question? I'll pretty much listen to any music that encourages dancing, laughing, and occasionally introspection.

Movies - of the ten I've seen I'd say Across the Universe and Inception are in the top three

Books - too many to list!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Los salares de Uyuni, Bolivia
The beautiful salt flats of Boliva shared with 2 friends, where heaven is reflected and the horizon ceases to exist.. I wish I had a camera because the disposable one did not do it justice!
