Overview
About Me
Hey! I'm a California girl living in Bangkok. I was born in LA, and I spent a lot of time growing up in San Diego. I've also had the chance to live in Austin, TX a few years ago. I like to say home is whatever you carry with you in your pocket. I love to travel and have new experiences and constantly learn and grow.
I love to connect with people, and I believe great conversation can change lives. I'm an empathetic ambivert and I find value in both my time alone and also dancing the night away with all kinds of people.
I'm a creative soul, I love photography, crunchy designs, beautiful buildings, textiles and print mixing, web design, interiors, furniture, spatial planning, painting, sketching, playing with fonts, fashion and styling.
List of random things I love: laughter, rain, a fresh notebook, gemstones, fields of flowers, the smell of Crayola crayons, candles, a fresh pair of running shoes, stickers, turkish rugs, green tea, positive affirmations, motorbikes, the beach, the mountains, camping, a blanket of stars, running, a city view at night, yoga, wide open spaces of lush green land, anything coconut, meditation.
When you love others from your overflow, it is the greatest love you can give because you can't love them from your cup, you've always got to love them from your saucer. Love yourself to love another.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to connect with awesome like-minded people, forward thinkers, the dreamers, the "do"ers, the people who see life as a big great passionate adventure... I believe I will find that here.

Music, Movies, and Books
EDM, Hip Hop, and Lounge have a tendency to show up most frequently on my Spotify playlists. 90’s music and Reggae are fun too. I could watch and listen to someone play the piano all day.
I recently saw Crazy Rich Asians and I thought it was charming, 300, Phantom of the Opera, Silver Linings Playbook, Gangster movies, The Dark Night, Never Been Kissed, Miss Congeniality.
The Great Gatsby, The Scarlet Letter, The Little Princess, You are a Badass, #GirlBoss, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Sun and Her Flowers, The Untethered Soul, Charlotte's Web, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've ventured out off the beaten path on a motorbike in Laos in search of a coffee farm that a wonderful family runs. I fell so much more in love with coffee by harvesting and roasting the beans myself. I have an appreciation for the whole process.
I've witnessed the birth of my baby brother who is 19 years younger than me! A beautiful miracle.
Moving from California to Bangkok has been amazing and I am so grateful for the opportunity.
Zip Lining over waterfalls is a rush :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to share in amazing conversation and laughter. I love to share a meal, I love to share a car and road trip anywhere, I love to share a hug because they are healing. I love to share the music I come across, I love to share my time with you so we can build something cool together. I love to share ideas because working with a team enriches any project. I love to share our lenses with each other so we can help each other see the world in an eye-opening way.
I can teach you how to dance, I can help you with your writing skills, I can listen to you if you need a friend, I can be your personal shopper or stylist and pick something that will look amazing on you. I can take great photos of you for your social media or your memories, I can share my eye for things with you.
I can sit across from you at a cafe and we can enjoy each others company while working on our individual projects and goals. We can also share ideas and help build each other up.
