Please note:

I don’t always pay for this service, so leave your WhatsApp or Facebook if you contact me.

I only add friends that I have met in person (this is the original couchsurfing way).

CURRENT MISSION
Bringing people together to form unconditional friendships.

ABOUT ME
I am very easy-going and open-minded. To me, being open-minded means that everything I know could be true or false, and either way, it doesn't matter.

I can be a bit indifferent and detached, but I have found that in the end that is really the best way to be. I am not a big talker, but still social with an adaptable, go-with-the-flow mentality. I try to learn my lessons immediately so not to repeat them. I often hum or sing random songs when I am happy, sometimes not even knowing I am doing it, annoying Matthew in the process as he tells me that record player's needle is "stuck". I know what I like and who I like; it's all about the wavelength.

Moved up to San Francisco to work with my sister in summer of 2009. A year later we were tired of the responsibility and now we are exclusively and flexibly online.

I like to go out to socialize, especially dinner parties, house parties, pub/dive bars, wine bars, new restaurants, outdoor cafes or just stay in and be lazy, watching sitcoms, movies on the big projector, reading or emailing. I do not like huge crowds or being too uncomfortable, so I avoid the big festivals, camping and mega clubs.

I usually travel and go out with an entourage. It's rare I'll go on my own. If you're looking for something to do, just email me!

PHILOSOPHY
"do something with your life; a job doesn't count."

"all in due time"

"all of your dreams come true, one way or the other"

the law of attraction, the energy of the universe, positive affirmations, no judgments, being who you want to attract.

"do nothing, accomplish everything"

"We will all die soon, none of this will matter"

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I have been the Long Beach City Ambassador, Oakland City Ambassador and San Francisco City Ambassador! I am the ambassador you come to if you want to hang out with local hosts and travelers who want to experience local life. You probably won't see me at the regular meetups!

I always love to get people together in the areas I'm living or visiting so we have a group of like-minded, drama-free, fun-loving friends to hang out with :)

I look forward to meeting with you when you are in my city. My friends and I have random activities planned every week in Oakland, so I invite you to join us! This is open to those who live in the area as well!

Serious inquiries only - if you plan on following through with actually meeting up!! I really appreciate people who stick with their word. FLAKES (People who do not follow through) ARE MY BIGGEST TURN-OFFS.

I've stayed with random people all over Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and Asia. I've hosted tons of people living in Boston, California and New York.

I have been involved in hospitality exchanges since 1999 (way before couchsurfing.com existed) when hospitality clubs were still only in paper-booklet format that you had to order by mail and write to your potential hosts by postal mail!!! I love keeping in touch, so I am still friends with several of those I met in 1999.

Please note: Couchsurfing is not my life; it is a part of my life.
