About Me

I am a fresh PhD student here in the bay. After a few years of traveling and going around, I settle down in the amazing (but expensive) city of San Francisco! I am working during the week but trying to climb/backpack/surf(soon) as often as possible during the weekend! I am always up to explore the city with my guests!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people. I started by surfing a couple times and then hosted for a bit in San Francisco and in Paris. I had couple bad experiences but a lot of good ones! I appreciate couchsurfing when it's based on mutual respect: I am not your cheap alternative to an hostel!

I have not hosted in about 6 months or so (since a 18 years old girl literally shit on my wall) but I am getting back to it since I got more time now.
