CURRENT MISSION

every star is a setting sun

ABOUT ME

I recently finished studying at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I earned a BS in Health Sciences and a BA in Economics. I would like to pursue a career in health policy, nutrition, or medicine one day. Right now, I work as a manager at a local natural foods store called New Leaf. I also love to listen to music and love to play it even more (I play the guitar). I'm in a band in Santa Cruz called Comfort Twin. Now, I'm focused on school and jobs, meeting new people and taking a look around this crazy world.

PHILOSOPHY

Not all who wander are lost!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I biked from San Francisco to Washington, DC during the summer of 2007 with my best buddy, Scott. It was quite a trip for us.

I journeyed to the Southwest one summer and couchsurfed/volunteered at homeless shelters... Utah is one of my favorite places in the country.
