Hello all!

My name's Amelia. I live in Oakland, CA. I am a general construction worker with a concentration in tiling/masonry. I love what I do and the people I work with. In my free time I take classes at the local community college, sketch, do yoga and garden.

I love to snorkel, surf, and be in the water. I tend to like to travel places where that is possible since the bay area water is cold!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing to meet new people and see new places. I've always preferred to couch surf when I am traveling. I like the personal touch it adds to places. I've never had a bad interaction through this community and I'm always in awe of the amazing, generous people here.

I hope to one day begin hosting to do my part for this community!

Interests

I host a weekly yoga group of friends. I've currently wrangled together an awesome book club of super intelligent individuals. Like I said above, for work I do tile which sometimes manages to not feel like a job. I do enjoy tending plants and drawing when I get the spare time!
