CURRENT SITUATION: I'm staying at my friend's house for a couple of months before I sort out something mroe permanent so I cannot host anyone for while :(
However, I am happy to meet for a coffee/ale, go for a bit of a wander and have a chat

I enjoy food, music, company and hikes. Recently graduated from uni and trying to figure out what I am going to do next while enjoying life in this vibrant, beautiful city. Lefty who loves learning and talking about social issues around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met a few travellers in my city who introduced me to CS and the idea behind it seemed very cool, so I joined. Travelling around a country (or a city) with the help of a local and being able to not only see interesting places but also meet amazing people with various perspectives and experiences is my reason for using this network :)

Camping alone in NorCal redwoods

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show my guests how to make authentic Indian food, sushi and pizza
I can share my travel stories, music, movies and such
Can also talk endlessly about the failures of capitalism
Would love to learn customs and traditions of people from different cultures and also bits and pieces from different languages

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can give them my company and promise to be delightful! I enjoy cooking so I would love to make meals for my hosts or join them for coffee, pub, nights out, gig, weekend camping, a day trip to a natural park or even a road trip; I am pretty flexible.
