Have lived in California my entire life, San Francisco since 2012.

My free time involves exploring by foot and bike, reading, practicing juggling, taking photos (architecture and urbanism), dancing, and drinking copious amounts of coffee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first heard about Couchsurfing in college, but was unable to travel at the time. I was, however, able to host plenty of surfers. I found it an incredibly satisfying experience, and the best way to "travel" without ever leaving home. It was wonderful hosting and showing CSers around my little college town, the local hikes, and beaches.

I look back on my time hosting fondly. And look forward to surfing more myself!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a degree in City and Regional Planning and love to explore and discuss opinions on streets, cities, and municipal systems.

I enjoy a good story. Would love to hear your's, and am all too happy to share mine.

I'm also trying to learn more about architecture, I find the history particularly fascinating.

Always practicing juggling - happy to teach and practice how to juggle!
