Hello, I’m Ray who currently lives in beautiful San Francisco! I’ve also lived in Manila, Chicago, and Los Angeles. I’ve always had an international outlook and have friends from many countries and cultures. I’m fun loving, energetic and active, but also like to chill having great talks with interesting and curious individuals. I really like showing off San Francisco and if you’re very nice, you may experience my cooking and visit my home in the wine country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travel adventures and meeting people from all over the world. I hosted about 50 surfers in 2018 and really loved it! Lucky enough to have two homes for hosting.
