I live and work in San Francisco CA, and before that I lived in New York for 7 years, where I did my masters and PhD. I work in a mental health startup, and really love it :). Apart from that, I enjoy traveling, learning salsa and improv, exploring SF's fantastic music, food and comedy scene. I play a fair amount of squash when I can too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, to explore different cities like a local and to host interesting and awesome folks wherever I stay. For me, the hotel experience is too sterile sometimes and I much prefer being in the company of locals, experiencing life as it comes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once got helicopter-rescued from the top of a red rock mountain called Devil's Peak in the middle of Sedona, Arizona, (and got a free aerial tour of the beautiful Sedona landscape in the process ;))
