Recent San Francisco resident, long time Northern California local. I love everything active and outdoors and try to spend my time away from my keyboard engaging my body.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our community in the Haight in San Francisco is a 3-floor Victorian house with a vibrant community of young professionals. I'd love to exchange thoughts and experience with travellers from all over the world and provide people with a free, local, and hospitable alternative to staying in an expensive city!

In exchange, I'd love to be able to meet and engage with locals by default while travelling. Our world seems to be trying to put up barriers between people having genuine and real interactions, and I'd love to be part of breaking the walls down.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived with 5 people out of a hatch-back Sedan travelling in New Zealand for a month

Teach, Learn, Share

I shoot for 80% proficiency. Though you won't be learning from a master, I'm happy to share some guitar chords, a jiu jitsu move, or an insight into technology. I'm an obsessive podcaster and can probably loop a conversation back to an interesting tidbit I heard through the internet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A jam session; some time outdoors doing anything and everything; my banana bread recipe
