I'm a queer musician, a language nerd, a sportsman, a nature lover, and much more—chances are we will find something to connect on!

I approach people with kindness, goodwill, consideration, curiosity, and open-mindedness. I'm a good listener. I like to get into conversations that go beyond the surface, exchanging perspectives on life and all of its wonders and challenges.

I'm always up for learning something new and exploring—anything creative, playful, musical, sporty, or nature-y will be exciting to me. :)

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I surfed a few times and hosted a few times between 2011-2015. Those experiences forged some of my most special friendships. I'm ready to rekindle my connection with this amazing community.

Интересы

I write, play, and record music, go to a lot of concerts and festivals, play tennis and softball in leagues in San Francisco, seek out natural beauty, and nerd out on languages.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Kayaking the Sine Saloum Delta in Senegal to camp on an islet, eating fresh river oysters for dinner, and going to sleep to the sound of hyenas howling in the distance.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I'm an expert language teacher (English, Spanish, and French) and *love* doing it. I can also help you with your singing, guitar playing, songwriting, recording, or teach you how to play tennis or baseball.

I'd love to learn anything about you and your region's language, music, history, nature, and culture.

While I don't have the space to host in San Francisco, my boyfriend and I can host you in the beautiful redwood foresty town of Guerneville, California, 1.5 hours to the north.

Где я жил(-а)

France, Spain, Switzerland, United States
