CURRENT MISSION

To learn Hindi, move to India, and live in the jungle doing conservation work

ABOUT ME

I like being wild and crazy and enjoying life!: dancing in the rain, causing scenes, laughing too loud, staying up all night, climbing mountains, trees, roofs and doing things that everyone else is scared of. I want to create as many meaningful experiences with other people as possible and wander around the world until I have seen and done it all.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't let your dreams be dreams. All this living ain't as hard as it seems.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed all over Europe and hosted the most wonderful people in the world in Los Angeles. Couchsurfing is the best thing ever!

Interests

I am learning to surf, play the ukulele, and speak Spanish while working on a third degree in biology. I love acting, unplanned adventures, ashtanga and rocket yoga, unpretentious secret foodie spots and eating street food in places you're not supposed to, hikes that need hiking boots, running on horseback, swimming in rivers and oceans, and every single animal. I am obsessed with the Peruvian Amazon; Naples and Italian language, food, and culture; Indian music, books, and films; and anything tropical conservation. I have been wanting to learn Hindi for years...someone please teach me! :)
