CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I live in San Francisco and dream about traveling more. I work at an educational non-profit that serves low-income middle school students.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting new people and I really like getting off the beaten path any place I'm visiting. I also think that visiting place with a local is the best way to experience things as a traveler.
