I live in the Oakland / Berkeley border. Been playing drums 15 years, other instruments less often. About to start final year at UC Berkeley's Master of Social Work program to become a hospice social worker. I love this life path, excited to see where it goes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer my couch/bed up when I can and enjoy others' places when they allow.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some of my closest relationships come from Couchsurfing. I am so grateful for this community!
