I recently graduated from UCSB (in California) with a degree in Communication. I was working at Interscope Records for the past year in the Creative Department. I knew that before I got plugged into the work world, I wanted to travel the world. And I am about to take off on my adventure! My parents met at a travel agency (after they both traveled the world), so I figure the traveling bug is in my blood!

I love learning about different cultures and experiencing them first-hand. I am optimistic, easy going, and enjoy listening to others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend studied abroad a while ago and told me about Couchsurfing. She said she met some amazing people on it and it was a great way for her to travel. Soon, I will be traveling the world and would love to experience local life and culture.

Once I move back home to San Diego, I will definitely host others and return the favor!

Interests

Going to concerts, hiking, and hanging out with friends are some of my favorite pastimes. I enjoy writing, photography, and meditation. Jim Carrey movies will always brighten my day :)

I love learning about other cultures, so I will be happy to listen to the hosts and soak up everything they share with me. I will share my optimism, humor, and help out when I can. If they are interested, I can share some of my culture too!
