CURRENT MISSION

Bring forward the best version of me everyday regardless of circumstance and continue laughing, loving, and being happy. Enjoying every minute of every day and always chasing the smiles!!!

ABOUT ME

It is my pleasure to receive friends and people from all over the world from all walks of life. Whether you stay with me or we just meet up it is my goal to show you the absolute BEST time possible in San Francisco and California. Getting to know you, learn from you, and share anything and everything is one of my favorite things to do :)

PHILOSOPHY

I don't believe in hosting strangers! At one point in your life, every friend you have was once a stranger. If you stay with me you are family and I will greet you with a huge hug, a semi-full fridge(hopefully!), and go out of my way to make sure you have the most amazing time possible in SF! This is not just a free place to crash, I am opening my home and sharing my life, family, and friends with you! Please include this word in your request so I know you have read my profile: "ATLAS"!

Real life experiences over material possessions.

Get busy living, or get busy dying.

Always laughing and making jokes and super positive outlook on life, people, love, and everything else

:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ohhhh man what is up SF CS community! I've been so lucky to host in LA and surf with soooo many amazing people around the world, now after months of searching I have finally found an apartment in beautiful San Francisco (the most expensive city in the US) and guess what??? I have a great apartment in one of the best spots in SF :)

Message me if you're in San Francisco and want to meet up for coffee/tea/yoga or fun local events (did you know San Francisco has dance parties at clubs before work that start at 6am?? - I go to these and you should join me! - I do alot more than this too!)

**Please dont send me an impersonal/copy and paste message or CS Request...it is obvious and I can tell. If my work schedule permits and I am available I will take you out with some friends, show you some cool spots, or we can just meet up and share some laughs and good times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Recently, have been surfing around the world and before that I was hosting guests from all over the world and it has been a pleasure getting to know and meet them all. So many different groups of CS'ers in the past few years!

Interests

I love buying one-way tickets, getting lost in nature, and genuine human connection. Generally active and outdoors. I also love meeting people, traveling, sports, the beach, yoga, acroyoga, djing, family, trying new things, and much much more. Recently, I have been doing alot of acro yoga and exploring the underground/alternative scene of SF :) Ohhhh man is it all sooooooo much fun!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been very fortunate and have been lucky to see and experience some amazing things in my life.
-BURNING MAN (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015)!!! No words can describe it, but out of everything I have ever done or seen...its the best!
-Nepal for Earthquake Relief 2015 - Just like Burning Man, but in different ways this experience rocked me to my core and made me feel more alive that I ever have!
-Sailed around the world (2007) (So technically I have been alive the same amount of time, but have seen one less sunset and sunrise because we sailed west..so I am 1 day younger???)
-Three weeks trekking in the Himalayas and around Mt. Everest (I made a short video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA9LxqAV-54&feature=youtu.be )
-Bought a 1 way ticket to South America and came home with $0 money but full of stories and life :)
-Sleeping in a cave with Bedouin people in the middle of the desert of Jordan for 3 nights
-Backpacked SE Asia, South Africa, and Nepal with my brother (we live together too...sibling love!)
-Medical mission in Peru...changed my perspective on life
-Lived in Italy for a summer and spent some time after exploring/backpacking Western and Eastern Europe.
-Everyday is amazing in so many ways...always smiling and always living :)

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
