Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and have been hosted.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I use to live in a 10 person co-op/collective in a huge warehouse in the Mission District of San Francisco and would host people all the time. I even went to Coachella with some Irish lads I hosted at this space many years ago that I am still friends with today.

When I was in Old San Juan in Puerto Rico, my ex and I were hosted in the penthouse of one of the oldest and tallest buildings from the Western Hemisphere. There was a beautiful courtyard right in front.

I stayed with a nudist couple in their crazy luxurious condo two blocks away from Copa Cabana beach in Rio De Janeiro.

Couchsurfing has always been a great resource for me to experience positive/interesting/meaningful human connections.

Interests

My two wonderful children, eating out at restaurants and trying new foods, art & activism, hairdressing, traveling, my senior chihuahua Chuey.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music has to be underground, movies have to be independent or international, books have to be radical.
