Although I'm new to couchsurfing, a close friend recently told me, "You're like the best couchsurfer ever. You've got tons of great stories on super interesting topics and you can hold a conversation with anyone."

I'm currently based in San Francisco in a cooperative housing warehouse so I've got a lot of experience living with different kinds of people.

I'm a third wave feminist, a burner, an artist, and an engineer.

I've had a lot of different kinds of experiences that many people only dream about. They've been wonderful, they've been sad, they've been challenging, they've been fulfilling. I love sharing about them with others and learning from others who are enthusiastic about that idea.

Here's a taste of some of them:

Participated in Burning Man for the past 3 years,
Traveled in Vietnam and Thailand, China, Japan,
Built a successful company as the Chief Technology Officer and lone engineer bringing in serious revenue on a monthly basis,
Completed a Masters degree AND three years of PhD work at top institutions in the world,
Scuba diver,
Brewed my own beer many times,
Built and maintained a 1000 square foot vegetable garden,
Lived in multiple cooperatives/warehouse homes,
and many more personal stories that I'd love to tell you about as we get to know each other.

PHILOSOPHY

Greet doubt with love.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have so much to offer. Lots of skills, lots of knowledge, lots of expertise.

I recommend you ask me about my current art project and see where that takes us.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, laughter, love. Seriously I'd love to take you out for a drink and share stories.

Want a cool place to crash in San Francisco? Ask me about the warehouse I live in with other artists. Want to join a rad burning man camp? I've got one of those too. Let's see if there's a good fit!
