ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Cindy. I am a relatively new user, so far I have only used couchsurfing to find places to stay while I was in San Francisco last year. I'm looking forward to hosting though. I like foodie adventures, art, learning about different people that I meet, and getting lost in new places.
I'm a clinical social worker and am often referred to as a bleeding heart liberal but really I'm just trying to help those who may not feel empowered enough to help themselves
