Hello, I am a California native who loves to explore. I am a nurse, working with kiddos, and also teach yoga. In my free time I spend my days outdoors: backpacking, biking and hiking, cooking, practicing yoga, EATING(down to try anything a bit of a garbage disposal), drinking a yummy stout, drawing, reading (mostly memoirs or satirical) and meeting new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had the most amazing experiences couchsurfing. Going to be a bit cheezy... but it gives me faith in humanity! It shows the power of human connection.
