Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm still relatively new to this, but I had a great experience my first time, and I love the idea of friendly people from all over the world getting to meet each other, connecting and sharing bits of our lives with each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started a community in Berkeley that provided crowdsourced errand assistance for homeless individuals. Unfortunately I wasn't able to keep it going, since I hadn't been living in the area, among other factors, but I am still carrying with me the same intent to help make people's lives better.

Teach, Learn, Share

Dance! I'd love to share what I've picked up from being on a hip hop dance team, learning from workshops and videos, and experimenting on my own. If you have things to show me, too, even better. I'm most familiar with various hip hop styles and house, but I'm down to talk about and learn about others, including cultural dances.
