CURRENT MISSION

To travel to every country, try every type of food and learn every language.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in New Jersey and also lived in Dallas before moving to San Francisco. I've been in SF for 16 years and I love it here. I'm a Systems Engineer, a professional photographer and a musician. I enjoy meeting new people and showing them around the city. I have hosted over 40 times in SF and have surfed myself in Seattle, Vancouver and in Argentina.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm the type of person that travels to countries because I enjoy that type of food. I like people that are open minded and I'm very open to talking about many different things. I've always opened my house up to people traveling abroad in the past and this site is like a dream to me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
