Hi! From San Francisco, social introvert, all-around curious person. Love anything that involves the great outdoors or gets me out of my comfort zone. New foods, places and people I wouldn't otherwise meet are some of my favorite things, as well as anything that involves the humanities (art, music, writing, etc).

So far, my favorite places in the world are Istanbul, Mumbai, Seattle and of course the SF Bay Area. Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been a member for years but am finally starting to use couch-surfing. I love seeing the way people really live whenever I travel and I really dislike the sterilized hostless-airbnb experience where you only do what the guidebook says. I'm always looking to meet people when I travel. If you say "yes" as much as possible, it usually turns out great, and nothing like what you expected.
