I was born and raised in a small mountain town in Northern California called South Lake Tahoe, which is a paradise of its own (winters and summers). Since then I completed university in Los Angeles and have spent the last year traveling through SE Asia and South America. I am a a laid back, easy going person and enjoy meeting people and trying new things. Im not the best planner but what I lack in preparation I make up for in effort.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ive only heard great things about the Couchsurfing community, and am a little late to arrive to the party. This seems like a great opportunity to meet diverse and interesting people from all around the world whether hosting or traveling. Wherever I go I try and interact with the locals to learn from and connect to their lifestyles, couchsurfing seems like a great way to do this.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music, not the biggest fan of rap or electronic. Any band that has a good sound and is relaxing to listen to. All time favorite is Red Hot Chillis. i think the best movies are the ones you dont want to watch again for a good whie. Also I really enjoy documentaries. Favorite book Frankenstein.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I havent done anything all that impressive, recently got back from working on a natural reserve on the Pacific Coast of Colombia (Choco) for three weeks.
