I live with two amazing roommates in Oakland, CA. I've been in the restaurant service industry for quite a while, but now I'm looking for something new. I'm thirsty for more life experience and inspiration, and I'm hoping that a bit of travel will help.

I try to be mindful and empathetic. I can pretty much get along with anyone. Always happy to meet a new friend to explore with, though I don't mind exploring alone. I enjoy shooting pool in dive bars, reading novels, rock-climbing and riding motorcycles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to share my favorite funky spots in the city with others and get inspired by others and how they live.
