Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

SF is still very new to me. Hosting a couchsurfer is a great excuse to get out and see the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with an amazing couple in Johannesburg a few years ago. I guess I fell off the grid since then - college was a busy time. But I'm back and ready to pass it on.

Interests

I love the outdoors, hiking and camping and am happiest in aforest. I'm also an amateur photographer, cartoonist and writer.
I'm the kind of person who can never sit around not doing anything - I'm constantly pushing myself to try out new things and live through fresh experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked down to the base of the Grand Canyon and back, journeying through 500 millions years of natural history.

I've also been to the highest motorable road in the world and the highest railway station in the world, both located in extraordinarily beautiful locales in the Himalayas.

I had a baby zebra as a pet one summer. Her name was Nwana.
