I am a native to Southern California and have always loved the outdoors and people. I did not begin traveling until I graduated college per request of my parents who were paying for a majority of my education. After graduation I have gained a deeper appreciation for the complexity of the world that we can experience through putting ourselves out there to see life from someone else's point of view. I became deeply grateful for the difficult and wonderful growing opportunities I encountered while traveling and meeting new people. It helped me become more aware of who I am in my relationships with close friends/family or complete strangers. Other than a bad itch to see the world, I love the outdoors, the arts, and lending a helping hand whenever needed!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an extrovert who loves traveling, meeting new people and experiencing new things! I have been traveling during the summers since 2013. What makes a trip meaningful to me is experiencing a new city or country from the perspective of a local and creating a memory with them. I think couch surfing helps build a unique community for those who love to travel and also believe in a sustainable lifestyle. These are the things that make couch surfing appealing.
