CURRENT MISSION

To stay/host locals because I have always had amazing experiences when doing so.

ABOUT ME

Growing up with a mom in the airline industry, I've been privileged to backpack through Thailand, Guatemala, Belize, and see most of the mediterranean. I've always been the type who enjoys staying with locals or hostels instead of the 5 star hotel.
I'm very independent, sporty, laid back, and active.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the moment but keep things in perspective.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

You MUST have positive references in order for me to consider hosting you.

I currently have somebody subletting my guest room through July so I won't be able to host anyone until then. I'll change my status as soon as the guest room opens back up.

Update Oct 2015: I'm in escrow on a place in Oakland, close to Lake Merritt. Once I move in, I can host one couch surfer at a time.

Países que he visitado

Belize, France, Guatemala, Italy, Spain, Thailand, Tunisia
