I am a graduate student at the University of Arizona and will be in the Bay Area this summer (2016). Looking for friendly, fun homes or a quiet place to work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on a limited budget and wanted to get the chance to see different neighborhoods in the Bay Area.

Interests

I'm learning to play the banjo, though if you don't want to hear it I won't practice in your house. Lots of repetition right now.

• walking
