I recently moved to San Francisco from Portland, Oregon. And both of these city's are great although California has way less rains and more diverse population.
Love it here!

I am a painter, jeweler, musician. Work at Asian Art museum. Love biking, hiking, serfing.

Will be cool to make your portrait or create something artistic together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love learning about other cultures in person, not from tv.
Love to meet new people and share my art experience because I also teach art to kids.
I'v done a hitch-hiking trip from Moscow to Paris and back.
Couchsurfing helped me a lot, so now I host others.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: It's always changing. Love classic rock, classical music, reggae, folk. It depends my mood right?

Movies: Artistic like Federico Fellini, biography movies, historical, art. Don't have enough time.
