Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING No place to offer for now, but will hopefully have one soon. Meanwhile, I love a good coffee with conversation, and maybe can show you a little of the great San Francisco Bay Area.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Just yesterday - I was in Twin Peaks, San Francisco, which has a sweeping view from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Bay. It was cloudy with sun spots, and then suddenly the fog came in from the Ocean and filtered the whole landscape as if God was a fan of Monet.
