CURRENT MISSION

To show San Francisco to others (while getting to know it myself), meet interesting people, and share travel stories.

ABOUT ME

I know what it's like to travel and rely on others' couches. I did it myself when I moved to Japan and again when I moved to San Francisco, so I'm paying it forward. And hoping to meet some great people along the way.

Making friends is key!

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Biked around Japan's largest lake 3 times
- Played touch rugby in a tournament with people from around the world next to a giant mountainside
- Climbed to Kiyomizudera and drank from its waterfall
- Desert offroading in Aruba
- Waterfall climbing in Jamaica
- Snowboarded on one of Japan's largest mountains with... probably less experience than I should've had
- Completed Insanity (you know, Shaun T?) twice

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach Japanese, or how to get around San Francisco.

I'd love to learn to cook and pick up weird, cool skills. DJ and/or music production tips? I dunno.
