ABOUT ME

Nerdy and pretty easy-going. I'm a product manager in tech. I'm a SF Bay Area native, a recovering grad student (international security), a recovering startup co-founder, a former theater techie, a well-traveled backpacker, an occasional slam poet, a future cantankerous school board member, and an expert procrastinator of tattoo-getting. ENTP-ish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm a traveler looking for a place to stay and cool people to meet!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first time! Be gentle!

Interests

I studied international security in school, so I think about that a lot. I'm an amateur photography buff and I like spoken word poetry.
