About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to experience the world, connect with other lovely humans, and learn other languages!

In a nutshell, I'm a public servant at work and believe generosity should continue beyond my job as well. I am usually volunteering, donating, or reading about different social issues at any given time. My sense of humor lies somewhere in the realm of South Park and Family Guy (animated comedy series in the US, quite vulgar). Sometimes I'm sarcastic, but not in a mean way -- I take great care not to hurt others or cut them down. I love philosophizing, discussing what you're passionate about, and what you think the meaning of life is! If there are more questions than answers to the topics at hand, that's totally okay by me :). I'm a sincere and fiercely loyal friend once you get to know me but can be shy at first. I'm inquisitive, and eager to learn about other lands, cultures, and people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet up with people traveling through the Bay Area or like-minded locals.

I just came back from an amazing trip to Sweden and Denmark in June 2016.
