About Me

I am a very nerdy lady with a fiancé to match. We're both bartenders and big into video games. We are both very laid back, but ready to party when needed. We love hosting and showing people around town when we have the time. We also have an adorable budgie named Goomba who loves to hang out in the apartment with us.

Unfortunately I will not be able to host until after the holidays as I will be recovering from minor surgery. We finally have a living situation that can accommodate surfers so I'm looking forward to hosting in the near future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel, make friends, and to help fellow travelers. We all have stories to tell and so much to learn from one another.

Interests

Video games are my biggest hobby and comics are a close second. I also love photography, beer, theater, reading a good book under a good tree, going to the beach to watch the surf and explore tide pools. I enjoy watching classic movies and I get a kick out of watching really bad B-Movies. I am a total beer nerd. I love music, tea, crazy board games, the arts, random adventures, and just having a good time with good people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always excited to hear travel stories and to pick up travel tips and learn new languages.
