I've been living in California the last 12 years and have had a great time exploring all it has to offer - skiing, climbing, biking, hiking. I like to build things both for work and fun. I'm currently traveling for half a year and hoping to spend a lot of time in the outdoors, meet new people, and explore new cultures. I'm working on improving my photography and have a dream to one day open a hot chocolate cafe...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to introduce people to the places that are special to me (like taking someone to Yosemite for the first time) and I think the Couchsurfing community is full of others who enjoy to do the same. I'm hoping to meet and learn from new people while traveling this year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a month rafting down the Grand Canyon in Arizona recently. I didn't have much (actually just about zero) rafting experience before - but it was one of the best experiences of my life. Lots of stories I can tell you...

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn: everything and anything
Teach: I can teach you how to play the sport of lacrosse, if you have ever heard of it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you all about what to do when you visit San Francisco or the American west. I like to cook, take photos, and be outside (hiking, skiing, biking, etc) and would be very happy to share any of those things with you!
