Quiet, clean, good company, down for anything

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have traveled a lot for both pleasure and for work, and the majority of that travel has been solo. Most of the time I've stayed in hotels, but as much as I've enjoyed the perks of that kind of travel, I feel like I've missed the opportunity to connect with other humans and learn more about the places I've visited.

I'm looking to meet people from around the world, learn about new places from resident experts, and, as a host, show people around the beautiful Bay Area.
