I love to travel and meet interesting people from different cultures. I have been the recipient of many generous people in my life and want to pay it forward by hosting.

My apartment is a classic San Francisco flat - small but stylish and cozy.

I’m a naturist and prefer to host other nudists or those willing to try. Please acknowledge this in your request.

When not working, I'm happy to spend time with you and show you around on my Vespa.

I love interesting conversations over music and good cocktails. 420 friendly. 🍄.

Happy to engage you in a game of chess, meditation, massage exchange or calisthenics.

Special interests include the intersection of technology and AI with sex, dating, and relationships.

I prefer phone-free interactions - please be mindful of your tech use and I promise to do the same.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don’t know that my accomplishments are AMAZING, but I think they’re pretty diverse and interesting:
I’ve had 75 jobs since I was 10 years old. I was raised in a working class family and am first generation college graduate. I mowed yards and babysat, flipped burgers at McDonalds, waited tables in greasy diners and 5 star restaurants, had my own house cleaning business, choreographed show choirs and summer stock theater, acted in musicals and opera, taught elementary school music, was a missionary in Romania, planned corporate and social events, worked on Death Row at San Quintin, was a licensed massage therapist, earned a doctorate in psychology and now work as a psychologist at one of the most prestigious business schools in the world.
