I am looking to have fun and meet new people. I am always interested in hearing about people's lives and why they think the way they do. I am most happy when around happy people. (Note: I am hearing-impaired, so please look at me when speaking to me. I only speak English fluently now but will do my best to learn other languages.)

If you visit the San Francisco, CA area between April and June, I may be able to show you around and drive you to places you might not otherwise see.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet good people and hear about their stories. I'm especially attracted to genuine people who value honesty and loyalty.
