I’m an environmental scientist living in San Francisco trying to see the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from all over the world, and couchsurfers are such fun and interesting people! I love meeting locals, learning different perspectives and ideas, and making new friends while traveling! I have not been able to use couchsurfing as much as I would like, but whenever I have it always makes for the most memorable experience :)
I also like showing people around my home city and sharing the spirit of San Francisco!
