CURRENT MISSION

seeking adventure through taste and travel

ABOUT ME

I am an optimist by nature and a lover of all things natural. Drawn to passionate people, captivating storytellers, attentive listeners, divine food, vegetarianism, people who share their food, the cinema, social justice, open air markets, long train rides, diversity, dark chocolate, black coffee and vino blanco.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, I eat dessert first.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

couchsurfing (spreading the good word to those lost and lonely souls that haven't touched the world of CS), cooking (that's where the magic begins), baking brownies sharing tidibts about life, travels, food, dance (i'm a terrible follower), music (i can sing when i want to), politics (they lean to the left), you name it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When back in SF or wherever, mi casa es tu casa.
