I have deep Southern Californian roots yet currently grounded in San Francisco soil. Learning and exploring are passions which have led to wonderful adventures and relationships.
My partner is a native San Franciscan with an infectious laugh and witty sense of humor. We raise a teenager together- which has been a wonderful learning experience and inspiration. I think we learn more from her than she does from us. We open our home to couch-surfing friends when our dynamic teen is away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Locals know the best parts of every city. I rarely get to enjoy a local's perspective when I'm staying in a hotel away from the people who live there. This is why we love to visit our friends who live in different cities. We also enjoy having people over. Since we regularly have friends/family stay with us from other places -we decided it would be even better to welcome more. Bienvenidos!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I introduced myself in Czech at an English language camp where I taught "American" English- Big thanks to the super students that did the translation and helped me practice.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach- I can teach how to make some homemade Mexican dishes, basic salsa dancing, and a few mixed drinks with Tequila & Mezcal.

Learn- I'm ready - let's do this!!

Share- laughs, stories, experiences, favorites...
