About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to meet as many people around the world who are as passionate as I am about social change and being an active part of the solutions to the many problems of the world so we can work together. I also want to travel as much of the globe as possible and make films all over the world with local artists.

ABOUT ME

I am who I am, that is that.

A few important things to know about me: I rarely drink or smoke. I am 90% vegetarian, but I will eat meat sometimes for a new experience or to share culture. I rarely go out to bars or clubs at night and prefer to spend the evening talking, walking, eating, playing music, or at the cinema.

PHILOSOPHY

Live Life Love Life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed all over Europe and Asia and it was amazing. I have hosted in Nepal at my children's home and had lovely guests. Unfortunately I cannot host right now because of my living situation, but if you're in San Francisco and want a friend to hang out with or show you around the city, send me message!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I find it to be the ideal way to travel, because you can meet local people, share and exchange culture, and have some of the most interesting experiences that you would never get staying in a hostel or hotel.

Interests

I am interested in everything, but especially human behavior and culture, yoga, philosophy, music, and films.
