I am a US-Australian mutt who grew up in Ghana and Costa Rica. Now living in Oakland, California. Went to international schools throughout my childhood, including UWC Costa Rica for any UWC folks our there. All this means I have family and friends scattered around the world and have been lucky enough to travel quite a bit. I am an extrovert bit also a fairly mellow human, and my home is similarly mellow. I enjoy eating new foods, deep belly laughs, communal cooking, long walks, going to art museums, and curling up with a good book. I'm always down to trade earrings, talk about plants, or talk while drinking tea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and exploring new places in a more vibrant and less expensive way. Helping out fellow travelers and like-minded folks get to know the Bay Area.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
