About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet cool people and show them around an awesome city.

ABOUT ME

Transplant to San Diego from the east coast. I have traveled all over the United States and a few other countries. I love meeting new people and being exposed to different perspectives.

It's an endless summer here so I really like being outdoors. I spend a lot of time volunteering and getting involved with all great groups around the city.

And if I'm being honest, I'm addicted to live music and live band karaoke.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect each other. Focus on the things we have in common.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, only as a host but I hope to visit some couches soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We hosted visitors from Brazil and Germany in my last apartment. A great experience both times. I learned so much about the home countries of my guests. Not surprising, it was much different than what is shown on TV. I like to think they learned a lot about US culture too.

Either way we had a lot of fun together and still keep in touch.

Interests

Surfing, hiking, music, running, beach, volleyball, windsurfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, yoga, BBQ, tennis....basically anything that takes advantage of the beautiful weather here.

Teach, Learn, Share
