ABOUT ME

I'm a pre-med student hailing from California, I love playing music and writing, as well as boxing and doing Muay Thai. I used to be much more of a traveler, until settling down a few years ago to start school. At the moment I'm taking a sort of "last voyage" before embarking on a decade or so of university education.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I can, though not many people on here come through Oakland. I suppose I operate more on the "informal" couchsurfing network.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've used this site a few times for places to stay, though interestingly enough, I've actually had more experience meeting people on the road, crashing with them, and then finding out later that they are on this site.

Interests

I like travelling around, playing music (harmonica, banjo, guitar, singing anything I can get my hands on).
I'm in school at the moment and just switched my major to Biology with hopes of going to medical school in a bajillion years!
I'm interested in building autonomous community outside of the framework of authoritarianism, and generally living a more "real" existence.
