I enjoy traveling around the world and immersing myself with the locals! Growing up in a diverse city such as San Diego has created a serious case of wanderlust. Of course, one of the best parts about working in education is getting summers off to go travel. I currently work as a school psychologist in a middle school setting. In my free time I volunteer at the local animal shelter as my vagabond lifestyle isn't conducive to having pets. I'm kind of a Colorado stereotype, but in addition to any outdoorsy activity I also enjoy powerlifting, drumming, hot yoga, ultimate and any kind of new experience.

After years of only surfing I'm psyched to finally be able to host!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Learning about a city or culture from Lonely Planet is ok, however nothing beats meeting a local who can show you just what makes their city so amazing. After years of only surfing I'm psyched to finally be able to host!

Music, Movies, and Books

Any kind of rock music, from classic to metal. Fun Fact: I had a college radio show back in the day called Rockturnal Emissions.

I don't read as much as I'd like to, however I've recently been slowly making my way through Jon Krakuer's works. I much prefer non-fiction over fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got on the news in Taiwan because I fell into a waterfall, tore my ankle ligament, and needed tiny Taiwanese men to carry me back down the mountain.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm super easy going and just need a roof over my head! I feel like even though I'm only 29, I've learned a lot in life in love sharing my story just as much as I like hearing yours.
