CURRENT MISSION

To repay some of the couchsurfing love I experienced on my recent trip around the world

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Arizona, went to college in Colorado, worked on Wall Street for 10 years, lived in Amsterdam for a year, went backpacking for a year, and have been living in San Francisco, one of my favorite cities in the world, for about 3 years. As much as I love living there, I was elated when I was "downsized" from my job last Spring and immediately knew it was time to go travelling again. I'm a traveller and adventurer at heart, and just finished my second trip around the world.

I play tennis 3-4x/week and either ski or go hiking on the weekends, depending on the season. Otherwise, just enjoy being back home in SF.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's too short!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met several gracious hosts on my recent travels and am hoping to pay forward my positive couch-surfing experiences to others coming through San Francisco.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch-surfed for about 20 nights on my RTW trip...namely in locations I was more interested in meeting locals who could introduce me to their culture and customs. I had some amazing experiences and met some super-cool people.
