Hi there! I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, California. It is truly an amazing place to have lived. I have done a fair amount of traveling within the United States, and love to discover new and interesting places. When I'm not working, you can generally find me doing something outdoors - whether it be running, riding my bike, or on a hike.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had fantastic experiences with couch surfing in the past, and love the opportunity it provides to see new places and meet new people. I have a unique work schedule, being a nurse, and love to get away on my stretches of days off and explore new places! I am an avid runner and hiker, and am always looking to find new trails.

I am amenable to whatever couchsurfing situation suits you best. I would love to share a meal and get to know you, go on a hike together, or whatever. On the other hand, I am equally as ok with doing my own thing!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - all over the place. From Beethoven and Chopin to Emancipator
Movies - I am notoriously bad at seeing all the movies 'everyone' has seen. I'm working on that though!
Books - also all over the place. 1984, To Kill a Mockingbird, and tons of nonfiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Run a marathon. Woohoo! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I currently know about 2 chords on guitar. Working on that ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

An easygoing nature, good stories, and sincere gratitude for having me!
