I enjoy surfing, socializing with friends and soon to be friends. I have worked to help the environment for 10 years, and now I'm hoping to help the social environment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have made many amazing connections through traveling. The ripple effect of these connections is the impressive thing that the world has done with a seed of connection.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share my knowledge about Californian and French culture. I'd like to learn about life where you're from. I'd specifically like to learn about local lore, relationships, parenting and grand parenting.
And finally if we are so lucky to find each other, someone who shares the interest, I would love to share about early Longboard surfing culture.
