UCLA engineering graduate here. A somewhat traumatic car accident earlier this year prompted me to quit my job in LA, pack up 2 backpacks, and move to SF, which has been my dream since I was 13.

I am staying with friends for a bit but am also looking for empathetic hosts to help along by providing a place for me to stay while I look for a data job in the tech industry.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for someone in the bay area, preferably in SF or another city near a BART station to help house me as I gain my two feet and establish myself in San Francisco. I appreciate greatly anyone considering providing me a place to stay.

I pack light, shower quickly, and am a very clean person. I'm gone most of the day and am quiet coming home, and try to always be aware of my impact on those around me. While I would certainly enjoy socializing, hanging out, and getting to know my host(s), I mostly am looking for a place where I can shower, sleep, and safely store a backpack while I'm out and about for most (or all) of the day networking and applying for jobs.
