CURRENT MISSION

to learn, teach, grow...and be happy all the while!

ABOUT ME

I am a 31 year old, San Franciscan, originally from the California South Bay Area. I graduated from the University of Southern California with a B.A. in International Development and completed my Masters Degree in Economics at Johns Hopkins SAIS.

I am super laid back, easy-going, and hard to anger! I love meeting new people and therefore welcome any and everyone passing through San Francisco!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I lend you my couch [or futon to be exact], and you lend me yours!

I have surfed numerous times on four continents, and now that I'm back in the U.S. w/ a place of my own, I'd love to host if time allows.

Music, Movies, and Books

While I do enjoy a good movie every once and a while, I am primarily a reader. I will dive into just about any genre but mostly enjoy the dorky Fantasy stuff! Game of Thrones, LOTR, Harry Potter, His Dark Materials... I'm a closet nerd...or, I guess not so closet anymore...
