Hey! I'm from Chicago and living in San Francisco. I love to cycle, read, write, sing everywhere, meet new people, float around and dance, be free and smile. I also love a good yoga session, swimming and hiking. My favorite subjects are politics, philosophy, anything to do with sociology and social change.
I'm basically down for trying everything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel I never really plan anything and instead like to meet interesting people and see where the wind takes me! In New Zealand I wound up on an unanticipated amazing road trip across the country and love things like that!!! *Serendipity*
For hosting, I live in SF and know EVERYTHING about the city and absolutely love to give people tours. I lived here in a hostel for a hot minute and made some great friends while I showed them around my beloved city.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm in love with classical music, downtempo music, the Beatles, Jon Hopkins, Officinal Zoè, DakhaBrakha, Radiohead and so much moreeeee. I have an amazing Spotify I'd love to share with you.

Movies: Kill Bill and the Goonies are my faves. Lately I like documentaries and anything with a powerful message and good videography.

Books: any philosophy book, classic literature, Greek mythology, history, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I run a newspaper in San Francisco, which I love because it makes me get involved with everything! Yes!

The most spectacular thing I've ever done is ascend Mount Sinai overnight in the Sinai Peninsula when I was studying abroad in Cairo, arriving at the top with the rising sun. I saw so many shooting stars and fell in love with the mountain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some good yoga posture, anything to do with writing/ editing, leadership skills, how to complete goals and probably loads more!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an amazing chef and can put together flavors in new and interesting ways! My dad used to run kitchens and taught me everything he knows. :-)

Also, I love, love, love urban or trail hiking and riding around on bikes, so I can definitely share in on any active activities.

I'm not sure how this question differs from the previous one, so this is the same info: I can teach you some good yoga posture, anything to do with writing/ editing, leadership skills, how to complete goals and probably loads more!
