About Me

Currently not hosting due to living situation. One day!

hola amig@! si no entiendes ingles, lee aqui. este barrio no es siempre seguro, pero me siento siempre seguro en mi barrio :D vivo cerca del Fruitvale BART estacion en Oakland. debes ver Oakland en un mapa porque no es tan cerca a San Francisco. cuando me escribas un mensaje, dime si te sientes comod@ con otr@s CouchSurfers. tambien no puedo prometerte q recibas un sofa y cama, solamente el piso.

i live in Oakland because i like it better than San Francisco. you can stay here if you want to visit San Francisco, but it makes more sense to find a host in San Francisco. it costs around $6 round trip to go from Oakland to San Francisco. it takes at least 30 minutes to get to the Ferry Building from my home and maybe 90 minutes to get to Golden Gate Park

if you're gonna write me a CouchRequest, please read the "My Home" section first! i get 1-3 requests a day, so i've got some requests of my own B-)

FYI i feel safe walking through the neighborhood late at night, but some people are afraid so consider staying in a safer neighborhood.

Music, Movies, and Books

Songs that make me wanna dance or cry

i want to visit the alien planet or meet the aliens from the movie La Belle Verte (The Green Beautiful). Casablanca is one of my favorite quotable movies. i think of Synecdoche, New York as a cautionary tale of how i want to live my life

i love the book Be Here Now

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i've seen the other side!!

Teach, Learn, Share

"I am a human being; I believe that nothing human is foreign to me." -Terence

Can Teach: If I'm good at it, I can teach it, like cutting a pineapple. Just ask, I've learned a ton of little things.

Want to Learn: EVERYTHING! but especially sewing, crafting, tying knots, anything mechanical because I’m TERRIBLE at mechanical things

Share: sharing time without a screen in front of your face is good

What I Can Share with Hosts

i almost always buy wine or beer for us before i even meet you, hopefully i remember to ask which you prefer. i can always help out with household chores or tasks, like scrubbing the toilet or buying groceries. i can share laughs, smiles, love, stories, debates, opinions, skills, secrets, my home if you ever come to visit me!
