About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore as much of the world as possible, through the eyes of natives

ABOUT ME

25 years old, living the life in San Francisco! I've hosted a bunch of people when I lived in Santa Barbara and also since moving back to San Francisco. Figure San Francisco is an incredible city, and want to share it with everyone interested.

PHILOSOPHY

Love life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed for a couple months while travelling through Europe, and I've also hosted a good amount of people from all over while in Santa Barbara and San Francisco.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every experience I've had has been incredible and I've learned something different from every individual, no matter what origin which is really why I believe couchsurfing is awesome. Getting to visit some of the couchsurfers who have stayed with me is also a really nice part of the whole experience!

Interests

Sports, reading, anything outdoors, just being in the company of friends. Watching the Niners be good again.

Also, I love travelling and just exploring what the world has to offer. I never want to stop exploring!
