I'm a fully vaccinated and boosted native Californian living in the San Francisco Bay Area . To pay for travel, I work in partnerships and marketing in the food space. Like everyone who has joined Couch Surfing, I enjoy meeting new people from all parts of the world and who are not afraid to push their comfort zones. I'm a huge music fan and love to cook for people who are not afraid to eat!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I joined Couch Surfing for the opportunity to network with like minded people from all around the world. I appreciate traveling to foreign countries and experiencing the sites from a local's perspective. On the flip side, I enjoy hosting as well as showing new friends why the Bay Area is such a great place to visit/live.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Cruised the Mediterranean on a 60' sail boat, dropped anchor and did a Michael Jordan dive into the warm water. The homemade Italian pasta lunch that followed was pretty amazing as well.
