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.

Interests

I love music. Local bars with local bands. Learning to play guitar on my own.

Architecture. City style.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not amazing, but funny. I was an extra in the Lifetime Movie about how Prince William met Kate Middleton.

Teach: Want to make an amazing roast veggie dish?
