About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to free my mind so I can figure out what my next step is!

ABOUT ME

I'm a happy, friendly outgoing person. I love to meet new people and go new places! You will mostly find me laughing or smiling. I am told I am a great tour guide.

PHILOSOPHY

Now is all you have! Just do it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Participation is one of the Ten Principles of Burning Man...this is how I strive to live:

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a true newbie! I have known about the organization for many years, but never thought I could do it. I am a much more open person now and I would like to help travelers on their journey as well as receive a little assistance as well!

Interests

I am an Architect specializing in Preservation so I know the local historic sites and I enjoy telling people about them. I also enjoy eating great food, biking, roller skating and dancing!

Music, Movies, and Books

Breaks, techno, house, jazz, lounge, bhangra, swing, salsa, alternative... I am more into music and dance than anything else. I have just started getting into the poetry slam/word party nights in San Francisco.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing Kaiteur Falls in Guyana after flying there in a 5 seater prop plane through thunderstorm clouds. Being part of Burning Man in the middle of Nevada in the desert. Seeing the fireworks over the Golden Gate Bridge for the 75th anniversary...still talking about that one!

Teach, Learn, Share

My specialty is architecture. I can show you the best icons in San Francisco and some unknown interesting sites that are quite impressive. I want to learn how to slow down and not plan everything. A day spent at home can be lovely too. I still need to learn that. I have a lot to share with you!

Countries I’ve Visited

Barbados, Grenada, Guyana

Countries I’ve Lived In

Mexico, United States
