CURRENT MISSION

friendships all over the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty easy to get along with, honestly I think I could get along with almost ANYONE! I relate well to a lot of different types of people, I'm adaptable and I make the most of environments... comfortable, happy and real in all types of situations. I also think I'm a bundle of contradictions...both a talker and a listener...a loner and a social butterfly...super chill and low key or really wild and crazy, depending on the day...I love running around SF being a city slicker just as much as I love being totally isolated in nature. I try to re-invent myself pretty frequently without ever straying too far from the core.

As some couchsurfers have pointed out to me over the months, i am "a pretty typical nor cal westcoast chick."

PHILOSOPHY

All you need is love.
Everything happens for a reason.
I'm a hardcore give a little, take a little, what-goes-around-comes-around type of person...whatever that means.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, parties, getting people together, you name it...I'm looking to get more and more involved as time goes on. I effortlessly promote the project through showing everyone around me how cool it is, everyday!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted about 30 people now... I've surferd in L.A. & British Colombia. I learn something new from each new person and place.

Interessi

languages, cultures, adventures & exploration! international friendships. challenging myself! anything related to food/cuisine/gastronomy...sushi!!! well-crafted espresso drinks and cocktails, vegetarian and vegan eating, cooking, sewing, crafting, artistic endeavors and making stuff in general, design, cinema, fashion, dancing, partying, bargain hunting, flea markets, taking pictures of everything, nature, beaches, camping, other not-too-heavy-duty outdoorsy stuff, socializing & conversating, having a few beers, generally progressive schools of thought. I also love Frida Kahlo and I have a huge frida montage covering the right hand wall of my apartment...so if you don't mind looking at unibrows, we're in business!!!

Musica, film e libri

lonely planet guide books!

Musically, i am very open.you'll most likely catch me listening to latin pop, hip hop, indie rock or ambient/trip hop stuff...maybe a little 80s music and a female vocalist here and there. i like electronic music (mainly deep house) and that whole party/festival scene as well.

I like film a lot, it is probably the form of media I connect with most strongly. mainly indie/foreign genres.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

currently in the midst of bouncing around India & Southeast Asia on my own. 10 months in.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I know a little about a lot, I guess you could say. I speak English and Spanish, I love talking about language and helping others with it. I worked as an english teacher in SF. I am a barista and can make fancy espresso drinks!

I'm a pretty okay cook but I can't be bothered to get my act together most nights unless somebody holds me to it...my specialty is tortilla espanola, and I can teach you how to make it, too (it's not easy!)

I know a lot about sewing and crafting, and quite a bit about the psychology/counseling and social work field as well. As previously referenced, Frida Kahlo is my idol, my icon. I can tell you her story if you so desire.

And needless to say - I think I can make some pretty bad ass recommendations as to how you could spend your time in SF.
