Hello all, I'm Becca and I'm a traveler, artist, cat lady, and weirdo. I've been living in Oakland for nearly 10 years which is nuts because I never saw myself "settling down" anywhere for that long at all. But hey, I fell in love with this city and it's a love that keeps evolving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live in an amazing place and I love meeting people from different cultures and having great late night conversation over wine, whiskey, whatever your liquid vice of choice is. I like playing hostess and getting to know my city in different ways and through the eyes of others.

Interests

Analog film photography, dancing to soul music in the daytime, biking around, cat cuddling (I have two fur babies), design, drawing, reading, dive bars, farmers markets, cooking...

Music, Movies, and Books

This is a huge category. I am a giant film nerd. I will only provide one answer per category because, Jesus...

Band- Radiohead.
Movie- Punch Drunk Love.
Book- I'm having a moment with This Is How You Lose Her.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned to drive illegally on a 3 month long cross country road trip to Montreal without killing my former roommate or doing any damage to her car. Does that count? I think it's pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open to all of these things. I feel like maybe I am missing something with this particular section.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a fun host that can show you some hidden gems around Oakland that might have you reconsidering spending all of your time in San Francisco. Get to know the city that you may have been undermining.
