Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I got to couch surf with some Kiwi's, Aussies and Italians. I love the look on people's faces when I tell them I couch surf....they think its the craziest thing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since my first experience in 2009, I have had a blast and made the most unique friends. I owe many valued memories to Couchsurfing

Interests

Traveling is a hobby/passion/need.

Yoga is one of my favorite past times, I try to practice as often as I can.

I'm interested in all types of Social Work. I volunteer with many different populations.

I love dancing-swing salsa. (after a few drinks hehe), and playing the piano.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I loved Uganda. I think what's most amazing, beyond all the passport stamps, beyond all the different foods and great summer tans, are the unconditional everyday things Life has to offer whenever and where ever you are. moments of randomly realizing how blessed I am, are the most amazing and valuble moments I could ever ask for.

Teach, Learn, Share

"the best way to cheer yourself up is to try yo cheer somebody else up" -mark twain

I am currently working with an organization that helps homeless families and individuals who live in their cars, by opening up a parking lot where they can sleep in their cars safely. If you would like to do any sort of volunteer service with San Diego's homeless population this would be a great opportunity.
