Overview
About Me
Sorry, but I can only do weekends only now due to an increased work schedule.
After September is up in the air because I may be providing housing to a friend "indefinitely," but contact me in case some dates prior to her arrival work out.
I'm a writer and photo editor for a start-up in San Francisco. And I have a dog who acts like a prince.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love learning about countries "off the grid" and through local experiences. My distaste for traveling by the book came when I was in London, seeing Stonehenge and in Athens when visiting the Parthenon. Seeing the iconic building covered in scaffolding and littered with tourists taking the same picture was not a fulfilling sight.
There's something special about traveling to a country and being able to experience it as an original location with stories of your own.
