ABOUT ME

I am a psychiatrist in private practice in the San Diego area. I don't have many opportunities to travel now, but I am looking forward to hosting Couchsurfers and hearing about their travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting Couchsurfers at my house. It is in La Jolla / UTC, 2 miles from the university and medical center. I got very few requests at my old house in Tucson, I hope I'm in a better area for surfing now.

Currently not hosting due to COVID-19

I don't know why it says I only respond to 83% of requests - I respond to all messages.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In the summer of '09 I took a 10 week roadtrip all over the United States and Couchsurfed everywhere. I had nothing but wonderful experiences meeting people all over the country. I would like to give back to the CS community by hosting surfers at my home.

Interests

Things I like:

Devoting my life in service to a cause I believe to be just, listening to people talk about what's important to them, looking for beautiful/interesting things and people, wandering the earth to observe and absorb absolutely everything, learning new languages, hugging, learning new technology, running, yoga, cycling..

Probably you if you've read all this and smiled at any point.

Say "I'm a dirty monkey" in your request so I know you read this.
