* * * I DO NOT LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO ANYMORE * * *

I moved back to Atlanta during the pandemic. Apparently, I can not figure out how to change my location 🤷🏻‍♂️

My Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/ScottFinArtist . . and and art website (www.ScottFinArtist.com).

A adventurous introvert, I am compassionate, outgoing, and friendly; I try to treat others with loving kindness . . similar to my little sister in Atlanta, who I highly recommend as a Couchsurfing host! https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/elizabeth-finsthwait

Artist / ex-teacher with life-long curiosity and wanderlust, I love backpacking and climbing, National Public Radio and San Francisco sports teams, golf, sun and rain, meditating and dancing, nights out with friends and staying in alone, and all animals.

Like comedian Jim Jeffries, I do not understand how our (United States) 2nd Amendment still exists:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having a revolving door of guests helped me keep my apartment clean and tidy.

I like meeting and getting to know interesting people from around the world.

I wanted to share my apartment with budget travelers visiting San Francisco, one of the most expensive cities in the world.

I have traveled and lived in many countries, and appreciate exchanging cultural and social ideas, beliefs, ideas, and experiences.

Paying it forward :)
