About Me

Dear Potential Surfers:

PLEASE READ:

1.) You are welcome to request to stay with me but please know I have not hosted any guests since February 2020 (pre-pandemic) and while I miss meeting people through the CS community, I am slowly figuring out what feels right (and safe) moving forward.

2.) YOU MUST BE FULLY VACCINATED. No exceptions and I may ask you to verify it. If you're not comfortable with that, then don't request to stay with me.

3.) The sleeping options in my apartment have changed - I no longer have the spare bed for guests that was a super comfortable spot for so many years. Everything is the same but instead of an actual bed, the sleeping option now is a pretty comfortable queen sized inflatable mattress.

4.) Safe travels, enjoy.

thanks,
Q

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host CouchSurfers at my apartment in San Francisco

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I generally only host people - I stayed once as a guest at the lovely home of Isa in Spain, a charming woman whom I met when she and her friend Irene stayed with me in August 2016 but haven't really explored CS as a guest.
