CURRENT MISSION

Meet and help out some friendly foreign or domestic traveling folk. If you have sweets from another country, you're likely to get my attention. I may require chocolate in exchange for a couch. ;)

ABOUT ME

Grew up on the East Coast (New York, but not the city), lived for three years in Tucson, AZ and now am in love with the West Coast.

My travel is limited at this point. I've been to Canada and Mexico, but the only time I've been off the North American continent was for a three week backpacking trip through Europe in the dead of winter. Wish I knew about this site back then...

PHILOSOPHY

Be good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly, I'v hosted, but I like knowing CS is there if I need to find a place to stay somewhere...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm still new to this, but the few people I have met have all been really nice, kind and generous people. Looking forward to meeting more.

Interests

Working on working less and exploring how I can explore more. The Bay Area and California have so much to offer... I can spend forever visiting my own world before I even get to see yours, though I want to do that too!

• vegan
• fitness

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies though I don't have lot's of time for them lately. I'm a huge Bruce Springsteen fan.

I also enjoy late night runs down dark trails while listening to Stephen King audio-books. I've never run so fast in my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My trip to Europe was incredible. I very much want to get back out in the travel world again, but it hasn't been my focus lately. Soon hopefully!

Awestruck moments to come...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I rescued a stray kitty that was living under the apparatus at my fire station. She's likely to share herself with you whether you like it or not, so if you're not allergic to cats, come on by!

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Canada, France, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
