I enjoy exploring, especially with great friends. My favorite activity is finding new and undiscovered places and sharing them with others. I bring my love for discovery to my work as well. I enjoy pushing the boundaries of what's possible. I live for good food, good music and good drinks. I enjoy downtime and fast paced life the same. I smile and hope it's infectious. My brother is my best friend. I love traveling, but don't do it enough. I love character. I play a lot of sports, but most of them only a little bit (except snowboarding. I love snowboarding). I live in San Francisco and enjoy every moment of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't actually done it yet. But this seems like a good way to meet new people and enjoy a city and it's culture. I'd much prefer local interaction over tourism. Plus, I hope through couchsurfing I can find all of the best late night food spots and local dive bars.
