I've recently moved to the Bay Area for a coding immersive. My program doesn't start until March and I'm doing contract work until then.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm staying in a hostel now and would like to mix in a bit of couchsurfing to help meet people and see the city before I move to the next one. I've met a lot of internationals during my hostel stay, but I have not met a single local during my stay in this city.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music - specifically jazz and classical, conscious rap, rock and pretty much any kind of live music. I'm from Miami and pride myself on my ability to dance to almost anything.

I was really heavy into philosophy for many years and broke that span with an Olivia Butler kick. I then went pretty heavy into social justice and history. But I'm currently immersed in a pretty thick Sherlock Holmes compilation.

I'm currently on an action movie kick but I love classic movies, black-and-whites and musicals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Mount Sinai in Egypt as part of a 2 week trip from Cairo to Aswan and back, with a brief respite at Karnak.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach grammar and fitness techniques (I used to be a personal trainer).

I'd like to learn more about art and local culture.

I can share loads of travel stories and experiences, and a pint or glass if you're up for it :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My good nature and personal experiences. Book recommendations. Oh, and I love to cook.
