I grew up and live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a singer-songwriter and filmmaker and I'm exploring a few healing modalities. I had a regular cabaret show every month at a piano bar in San Francisco. Then I got caught up in writing songs and making music videos about the ever-changing landscape of the San Francisco Bay Area in terms of the most recent tech boom and hyper gentrification. Furthermore, I take care of dogs and cats in people's homes and I also work for film festivals. www.candaceroberts.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had such lovely heart opening experiences on couch surfing. Similar to the sharing nature of libraries, I'm often amazed CS exists. Sadly I'm in between homes in the San Francisco Bay Area, so I can't offer up a place to stay right now. I'm easy-going and very curious about all types of people and I love love love being a helpful houseguest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Talking to you!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in meeting all types of people. I'm strangely fascinated by the minutiae and day to day of how people live their lives, yet I want to have meaningful connection and conversation. I'm not interested in homogeny and I would love to incorporate more love into social movements.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love helping out. I actually really enjoy doing dishes and helping maintain a clean kitchen. I want to be the best houseguest possible, including cleaning, running errands, taking care of animals, etc. You name it.
