CURRENT MISSION

starting a ruckus

ABOUT ME

I love music. I love to have fun. I love intelligent conversation. I am adventurous, easy going, passionate and curious. I am and activist and an artist. Riding my bike is one of my favorite things in the whole world. I LOVE to travel, and learning languages. I speak spanish and french, and a bit of Wolof. After traveling the world I finally made my home in San Francisco, I love it here quite a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've really only been active on here the last couple months despite having a profile for a couple years. I've had the pleasure of being able to host folks passing though San Francisco, and so far it's been a blast.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In my travels I have received a lot from folks I've met a long the way, so it feels really great for me to have an opportunity now to give back to the community.

Confessions of an Economic Hitman and Ismael are MUST reads in my world. Oh I also read the Song of Ice and Fire books recently and LOVED them (the series A Game of Thrones was based on)
