Having traveled extensively, I have experienced the benefits of travel. Travel is richer when there are authentic human connections. I enjoy giving back to a world made better by travel and learning about new cultures first-hand. Also, if you want to teach me some of your language, I am always open to learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Bakersfield is centrally located in California from the Central Coast to the Sierra Nevada mountains. I enjoy showing guests around my native California. Or if you just want to stop by on your way to Los Angeles or San Francisco, let me know.
