About Me

ABOUT ME

I lead the strategy team at Lyft and am a California native. I love playing soccer (played on the club team at Stanford) and I play salsa music (piano). I love to explore new places and meet new people!

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop exploring, never stop learning

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people at my house in San Francisco. I love exploring the city myself and showing guests the hot spots they would never find in a tourist book. I also like to travel on Couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started hosting in April 2012 to share my love for San Francisco and meet new people from all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driven across Spain, trekked through the largest all-sand island in the world in Australia and slept on the edge of the Grand Canyon (the best sunrise and sunset you'll ever see)

Teach, Learn, Share

1. I actively seek out new spots and experiences in SF from biking the golden gate bridge to finding the best corner pub.

2. I love music and play music myself so you can expect to hear some good tunes. I know some great salsa spots as well.

3. I am a food enthusiast. Whether it is cooking myself or going out you will have good food.
