I live in San Francisco, in the center of the hip Mission district, in a 41 room tech community. (20mission.com). We host various couchsurfers around the year. I have a medium-sized private room with a comfortable couch as well as my bed. I am a product designer who has lived in SF for the last 9 years.

I enjoy playing classical guitar / jazz / Brazilian bossa nova, collecting vinyls, art and design, live music. climbing, nature, traveling, backpacking, camping, design, technology, gardening, games. I have kombucha on tap in my room. 20 mission is a welcoming place filled with smart young people who are open minded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been hosting couch surfers off and on since 2010. Now that I live in the desirable Mission district, my private room is small but the shared house is huge. The location could not be better for fun, recreation outside, restaurants, and public transportation.

At 20mission, we like easy going down to earth people. I'm pretty busy during the week, but if we hit it off I may be able to play tour guide a bit. At this time at 20mission I can only host single couchsurfers, there's no room for more than one person in my room at a time.

Interests

I like to travel, hike, design, watch movies, and socialize. I travel every year and have seen many countries. I have been playing guitar for 16 years, I love to jam with other musicians / singers.
