ABOUT ME
I am from NH and live in Oakland, CA. I love to travel and have spent a lot of time in Asia (mostly Thailand). I work for an education company in downtown Oakland, CA and I’m passionate about helping kids. I enjoy meeting all types of people and love mingling with all different kinds of folks!

PHILOSOPHY
Here are some of my favorite quotes...
very simple but meaningful.

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." - Unknown

"I have a conviction that a few weeks spent in a well organized summer camp may be of more value educationally than a whole year of formal school work." - Charles Eliot, former President of Harvard University

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I can, I enjoy hosting people from all over the world. I like to show them around the San Francisco Bay Area and have a great time!!!

For me, couch surfing is all about meeting interesting people. Yes, it's great to have a place to stay...but that's not the main reason I do it!

I have couch surfed in China as well as various places in the USA.
