About Me

I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and spent the majority of my 20's in Southern California. I'm an Accounting/Finance Consultant (I swear I'm not boring) and when I'm not working I like to travel to new places and meet new people. I've been trying to learn Spanish since high school and have been planning to move to Central/South America one day to actually make it happen. I like trying new restaurants and bars on the weekend but am pretty boring during the week watching Netflix or the 49ers/Warriors/Giants.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot for work and am usually in a new city every 6 months or so. I figured this would be a cool way to meet some new people in the new cities that I go to. I just recently got to Charlotte and was in Boston, Maine, Virginia, Denver, and San Francisco before that. I also really like to travel to new countries and enjoy a good solo trip so I figured this would be a good resource for the next one of those.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled around the world over 5 months. Hit every continent except Antarctica. Scuba diving in Sipadan, Malaysia was definitely a highlight. Too many sharks barracuda, turtles, jack fish etc to count.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I try to be pretty generous when people are the same with me. Buying drinks or food is probably the best way I can reciprocate.
