CURRENT MISSION

To find fun people and explore new places.

ABOUT ME

My name is Rio and my friends would describe me as spontaneous and silly. I am a California native and have spent time traveling around the world. I am super new to Couchsurfing and I am excited to spend time showing people around my favorite city of San Francisco, and in turn, seeing new places myself. Some of my hobbies include reading, doing and teaching yoga (I can lead a class in your home!), cooking simple foods (let's cook together), and riding bicycles.

PHILOSOPHY

Open, honest communication with a dose of spontaneity are key.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting new, awesome, fun people from all around the world either in San Francisco or their city. Let's hang!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Years ago, I spent a night on a trampoline in Southern California. It was the biggest trampoline I have ever seen. I also spent a few nights with a couchsurfing host, Roderick, in Amsterdam a few years ago. We never got to go to one of his glamour parties (they were only on Monday), but we did ride bicycles to all the bars along the canal. I can't wait to meet new friends in San Francisco and around the world. Coming to a city near you!
