CURRENT MISSION

Meet inspired and creative people through travelling and cultivating an extended world community.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent graduate of San Francisco State University. I live in San Francisco and am actively involved in many circles of creative people, artists and musicians. I live with fellow band members of a country folk band and frequently have had characters of many sorts sleeping on our couch(es). I always love meeting new people and having good conversations. I am outgoing, friendly and very laid back. Everyone having a good time is always the best times.

PHILOSOPHY

We all need to chill out a little bit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined the project, but hope that it is helpful in my travel experience and that I can open my couch up in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although I just started through this site, at our house we have had couch guests from all over the United States, Canada and Australia based on a few degrees of friend separation and have always had good experiences. I have slept on couches here and there, but not much in completely new situations like the possibilities provided here. The surfers that we have hosted at my house have made lasting impressions and we still keep in contact with some of them. We have all had a great time showing them around the city and showing them what San Francisco is all about.

I went backpacking last summer in Humboldt county California on the Lost Coast, during which we covered 30 miles of isolated black sand beach in only 3 days. It was an incredible experience.
