About Me

**2023- Currently unable to host in CA - out traveling. If I have a place while traveling, I might be able to host you ~ feel free to message me.

Please feel free to reach out if you have questions about my hometown (Oxnard, CA), or nearby areas. I can provide some info and personal recs! 🏝️

Fellow travelers & any hosts: happy to meet up: grab a drink, go on a hike, hang at the beach, kayak, pet some dogs. Let’s play outside and keep them joints a loosy-goosey. Pretty big fan of food so let’s grub /cook / bake / fuel the temple 😎

Explore the world day by day usually with a beer and great company.

I like joking around and having a good laugh. I enjoy learning more about people, cultures, and life in general. Traveling is a big part of who I am, and couchsurfing makes for a lot of great experiences! I am taking my time finding my way to be where I want to be. Was living out in Australia then Covid came about and I flew home. ☺️ Backpacked and couchsurfed through much of Asia, Western Europe, Australia & New Zealand, and more to come. Would love to hitchhike the Atlantic one day so if ya have already, tell me all about it !

MY FLAWS: I trip a lot. I have to wee a lot on long car rides. I will push on a pull door. People may disagree that I am an excellent driver.

PHILOSOPHY: "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked." -Cheers, Warren Buffett

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't had the opportunity to host surfers (opened it a couple times but I’m from a small town 😅), but I have couch surfed many times while traveling the world, and I hope to host one day! I join hang out sessions and events when I can.

I like spending time and getting to know my hosts and fellow travelers.

Interests

I love the outdoors! I enjoy fresh air, kayaking with dogs, being the slow one on the hike, wild camping, sinking more than swimming, tripping on flat ground, taking wild swims, making cocktails, finding shells on the beach, trying new dishes, playing in the wildflowers, sitting in lawn chairs, talking to strangers, having a girls night, looking at stars, enjoying thunderstorms, playing with animals, making spit bubbles, hanging in hammocks, riding bicycles, cruising on skateboards, falling on roller blades, eating shit while trying to surf, doggy paddling, packing loads of snacks, pitching tents, the sounds of corks freeing bottles, lasagna cupcakes, gardens, awkward moments, high 5’s, muddy boots, travel shanties, and simply exploring new places.. and much, much more.

As for them sports, I’m down to play whatever… probably terribly but no worries! I also enjoy watching most sports (not baseball), but I'm uncoordinated to play a lot of them. Food: spicy. chocolate. more spicy food. more chocolate. fruits and veggies. desserts. seafood. meat. beer. the hard stuff. mostly everything. and then some more chocolate. if I wasn't clear: I LOVE food. and then some.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
I can't hang when it comes to scary movies. just, nope.

But to catch my drift:
The Goonies
The Breakfast Club
Anything with Robin Williams
Comedians 👌🏼 Ali Wong is my spirit animal.
Getting more into tv shows

Anything funny really. Or has action. Or sarcasm. Love sarcasm. And tacos. Idk why I just put tacos. I think I'm hungry.

Hit me up with your favorites. Love music.

I think this sort of sums me up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made a successful batch of unburnt cookies.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you practice English, and as mush Spanish as I know. I can make spit bubbles. Completely useless, but I figured it out. If you need toothpaste, I always seem to have extra. Anything I can offer from my collection of things. Ask me anything and I'll do my best to help you out :)
