我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have stayed with some great CS people while traveling abroad and shared some memorable experiences. am looking forward to hosting interesting folks in California and being a good guide for them.

I know lots of great spots in Oakland and San Francisco for art/music/underground electronic scenes. I love to experience new types of food and will be willing to try anything you would like to eat in the city. I know many good restaurants through my job.

I can also show you around the city at night and can play chauffeur if need be and pick up/drop off to SFO or OAK airport or BART (local public transportation line).

-----------------------------------------------------

I have lived several years in nearby Santa Cruz and I know the redwood forests there very well for fun hikes, biking day trips, or trips to the beach to play in the sand, by cliffs and watch kite surfers. I love to take visitors to my favorite old spots in Santa Cruz, Monterrey and Moss Landing. They are some of my favorite places in the world <3.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First learned about CS when I stayed with a CS ambassador in Peru. I thought it was an amazing idea and, because I couldn't praise their character highly enough, I believed it to be a network of like-minded people that share a passion for travel, hospitality and meeting the unknown with open arms.

I want to learn more about Couchsurfing community and help make other people's travels easy, pleasant, fun and memorable. I like synchronicity and am fascinated by the manner in which humans meet and part.
