I'm Charlie - living in DC with my Great Dane named Lucy! I’m an avid travelers - who loves meeting new people, running, reading, writing, live music, and fashion.

Prior, I was a social worker in India serving at-risk youth. We both value diversity & inclusion - and welcome travelers from all walks of life. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need a space to stay, meet up, or need suggestions!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had nothing but genuine experiences through CS. I've made life-long friends - and discovered travel through the eyes of locals. I'm on CS because I want to offer that same experience to others. I enjoy being a host - by introducing new visitors to San Francisco while learning new cultures/customs. With all the challenges we face in the world today, the least I can do is open my door to someone new - and provide them with a safe space and memorable experience.
