Friends call me a "geek with social skills".

I am smart, funny and open-minded.

I read books and I run.

I practice yoga and I drink wine.

I love cars and I play the guitar.

I am well-traveled and enjoy meeting new people and making connections all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a perfect way to connect to people from various different countries and cultures.

The lesson I keep learning over and over again: we are all the same!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lived in Shanghai, China for 3 years

I hiked up the Mont Ventoux in France and walked all the way back to the bottom (25km) in 5 hours

I ran a marathon, once and never again ;-)

I recently moved to California... living in the sun between the redwoods makes me so happy

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you anything about self-driving cars.

I want to learn about your local culture and your personal passions.
