I've lived in the Bay Area for the past nine years. When I'm not working, I'm playing music (I play several instruments, including the tuba), spending time outside (I do triathlons and love backpacking), reading, or going on fun adventures around the world. I previously lived in a large converted warehouse space where I hosted and played some fun underground concerts. Now I live on a big property in the redwoods.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy hosting creative people from different backgrounds and learning more about them. I look forward to staying with interesting people who think differently in my upcoming trips to Latin America, Israel, and Europe.
