CURRENT MISSION

I am new to Couch Surf! I am excited to learn about different cultures and perspectives on life!

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in the San Francisco, Bay Area. I have been extremely fortunate to have traveled the world at an early age, and I thrive on meeting new people and learning about new cultures. Some of the most influential in my life have been fellow travelers... even if it was period of 24 hours!

PHILOSOPHY

To positively influence the people I meet!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
