CURRENT MISSION

Meet new friends and explore new things - Laugh along the way...

ABOUT ME

Constantly learning and enjoying new places, people and food! Grew up in a colorful San Francisco, which fueled my interest in international studies. Love to travel and learning more about people and culture..

Non-smoker, social drinker, low-key partier...

Can't dance but I have fun doing it.

I just like to laugh a lot... you don't have to a comedian and I'll still laugh!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet great people while exploring new places. I'd love to couchsurf when I'm traveling and would love to host when I get my own place. For now, I want to grab coffee and take visitors/newcomers around this great city and show you the local spots! Once I can host, I'll update this section and want you to stop by!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted international friends that I met in college and I love showing them around San Francisco and New York. I'd like to expand my network to fun, outgoing travelers and am excited to have CouchSurfing as a foundation.

Movies - love the classics and comedy! All time favorite is between "The Sound of Music," "Gone with the Wind" and "Cinema Paradiso"

Music - I'm open to anything... it'll grow on me. Thought I didn't like country until that's all my roommate listened to (I now like it).

Books - Geography of Bliss

The rickshaw ride in Varanasi was better than the Taj Mahal.
Exploring Morocco during Ramadan and eating the best chicken liver sandwich in Rabat's Medina.
Tried to lay bricks for a new house with Habitat for Humanity outside of Accra, Ghana.
