I grew up in a small town in N. California. I travel and work currently for a mobile app company. I enjoy people and sustainable design and TED talks and old movies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling with the help of someone who knows the area which I am staying is the best way to do it.

I really want to eat good food too. If I stay with you please tell me about/ show me your favorite local restaurants, food trucks, cafes, bars. All of that. Food is motivating my travel as much as anything else.

Interests

Writing little stories, making noises with guitar pedals and guitars, mountain climbing, listening to baseball games, graphic design, books, TV binge days, and old movies

Teach, Learn, Share

The main things that I know about are mobile apps, American baseball, movies, travel hacking, and graphic design. It would be my pleasure to share my knowledge in any of those areas.

Want to learn about sewing, cooking, craft goods, instrument playing and maybe some web development - if by chance you know about any of those things.

It would also be great to hear and share stories of travel, as I am always looking to add places to visit to my "list of places to visit"

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help clean, do chores, that kinda thing in exchange for advice on things to do in the host's town. And life advice too. Also, I will buy a meal for whoever hosts me, so long as they let me know their favorite place to eat locally.
