About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go to school and travel when I can

ABOUT ME

I've lived in the Sacramento area since I was a kid...now I work and go to school here. Sactown doesn't pop up on people's radar all that often, but that's a low down shame — there's plenty of great stuff here! Great restaurants, bars, nightlife, plus the river...all are a few blocks from my house. The Amtrak station and the State Capitol is just a bike ride away — so, we're right in the middle of everything!

PHILOSOPHY

Life isn't a dress rehearsal — my dad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
