So much to see and do around the world, why not do with new friends? I enjoy this idea of the world being one huge community and we can share and enjoy its treasures (corny, I know). Anyways, I'm down to meet up! I'm currently unable to host, but I'm more than happy to show you around!

Specifically, I can show you the best places to eat, just tell me you price range and preferences. Really good East African, Chinese, Filipino, and Indian foods around here. I can vouch for the last two since I grew up with my mom cooking me her Filipino food and my dad cooking me his Indian food.

I know where to go for whatever kind of bars and music - do you like chill and comfortable, or electronic dance, or hip hop, or indie rock, or whatever you want, I know where it is! And if you want to see the sights, museums, parks, art shows, poetry slams, and of course the beach, I'm down for all that too!

I'm always down for a good deal - if we can do something fun for free or cheap, that's my kind of good time.

If I'm traveling somewhere else, I'd like to be hosted by someone that loves their city and can show me what they love to do. Energy is infectious to me, and if you love doing something, I'll love doing it with you.

If English isn't your first language, I'm happy to practice with you, and if you speak Spanish or French, I could use practice with those!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet cool new people and see cool new things! And having a place to stay while I do it doesn't hurt!

Interests

Listening to live music - bands and DJs, dancing, going to parks and museums, art shows, eating good food, watching good movies, being active: biking, running, soccer, spending time at the beach

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Slow Magic, Giraffage, Flosstradamus, Kanye West... anything with a groove or a beat!

Movies: Mostly dramas and comedies. And anything animated!

Books: I'm bad at making time for reading... currently trying to read Life of Pi, it's interesting so far!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I may or may not have visited Cuba... Still a bit tricky for Americans to do.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all about biology! But maybe lectures aren't your thing...

I can help you practice English.

I'd love to learn more Spanish and French.

I can share my knowledge about Oakland, San Francisco, and the other places I've visited.
