About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To continue to learn everyday and to continue to meet wonderful people

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone, I'm a friendly guy living in the Castro in San Francisco. I love to travel and love meeting new people. I was on CS a while back when I lived in NY, but now live in SF and can't always host because of my schedule, but I'm absolutely willing to try to accommodate you!

PHILOSOPHY

Learn by doing; be nice

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't always offer a couch, but I'll do my best. I can host up to 2 people, 3 in a pinch, but my place is small and it's not great for 3-4 people to share for multiple days, but fine for 2 people for a few days.

I have been to CS get togethers when I lived in New York with my friend Stephanie I have met several couchsurfers and enjoyed their company and the attitude of the organization. I often have guests, not necessarily from Couchsurfing. I can offer a mat on the floor and a long white couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I remember meeting Ashley one night through Stephanie and then going to her show the following night at the Sidewalk Cafe. We ran into our friend Rob on the way and brought him, and we all loved her show.
