CURRENT MISSION

I would love to meet people who share my passion for travel and different cultures

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about travel and cooking, as well as politics and International Relations. I enjoy learning about different cultures and consider myself very lucky to have had the amazing experiences I have had while traveling. I also enjoy backpacking, skiing and anything outdoors. I have also been known to cut a rug or two in some of S.F's music venues. While I like most genres of music, I really enjoy a good house/electro/experimental dj, which San Francisco fortunately has quite a few of.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't really have a particular life philosophy. I basically just believe in respecting others and learning about different cultures as much as possible. I think that travel is the single most educational experience one can possibly do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to participate in the CS project by offering my spare bedroom to any laid back, trustworthy,respectful traveler(s) who would like to explore what San Francisco has to offer. I would also in the future like to stay on someones couch. Maybe yours!!

NOTE: Please see the bottom section, "What I can share with hosts"

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted some lovely people at my home in San Francisco, now it is my turn to do some couch surfing myself! The golden rule of couch surfing is respect. I look forward to meeting new interesting people and sharing stories of wanderlust and life experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I absolutely love documentaries! I usually gravitate towards films/documentaries involving politics, or world affairs as opposed to the usual Hollywood shlock.As far as music, I enjoy most genres, but I really enjoy the local house/electro music scene.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have hitchhiked the Michoacan/Jalisco coast via the Pan American Highway in Mexico.

My most amazing life experience was the 3 glorious months I spent backpacking through India. That experience truly shaped who I am now as a person. I have met the most amazing people in my travels who have become some of my best friends. I look forward to meeting more through this website:)

UPDATE: I'm currently teaching English in Nablus, West Bank. My contract ends June 12th. During my time in Palestine, I have met some of the kindest people, and have learned so much about the culture, and political situation here. This is now the most amazing thing I've done:) I look forward to meeting new people, and cultures. I Cant wait to check out Jordan, and Lebanon next!! Yala!!

Teach, Learn, Share

In terms of what I can teach, as stated above, I am a passionate cook and love to share my knowledge with others and learn as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I look forward to sharing my cooking skills and tales of travel with you.
Also, I'm a bit of a night owl, and I do love a good party. I hope you do as well:)
Please do not request to stay with me more than 2 weeks out from your arrival date, as I have no idea what my plans are, or if I will be in town. Apart from that, I look forward to hearing from you!
