Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Participation is one of the Ten Principles of Burning Man...this is how I strive to live: http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/about_burningman/principles.html COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I'm a true newbie! I have known about the organization for many years, but never thought I could do it. I am a much more open person now and I would like to help travelers on their journey as well as receive a little assistance as well!
Music, Movies, and Books
Breaks, techno, house, jazz, lounge, bhangra, swing, salsa, alternative... I am more into music and dance than anything else. I have just started getting into the poetry slam/word party nights in San Francisco.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Seeing Kaiteur Falls in Guyana after flying there in a 5 seater prop plane through thunderstorm clouds. Being part of Burning Man in the middle of Nevada in the desert. Seeing the fireworks over the Golden Gate Bridge for the 75th anniversary...still talking about that one!
Teach, Learn, Share
My specialty is architecture. I can show you the best icons in San Francisco and some unknown interesting sites that are quite impressive. I want to learn how to slow down and not plan everything. A day spent at home can be lovely too. I still need to learn that. I have a lot to share with you!
My Interests
I am an Architect specializing in Preservation so I know the local historic sites and I enjoy telling people about them. I also enjoy eating great food, biking, roller skating and dancing!
