I live in Barcelona permanently but previously lived in San Francisco for about 9 years, Berkeley and Oakland for short stints, Florence, Italy, and Seoul, South Korea. I'm a perpetual expat at this point.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet great people I missed the first time around or find new friends across the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Contributed to and survived a post 2008 IPO, moved myself across the world, fallen off a literal horse and gotten back on

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you just about anything about food and wine you could possibly need to know in a pinch. I'm the person my friends call when they don't know how to cook brussel sprouts or the best way to prepare lamb.
