CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Napa, Then I found my home in Berkeley. The cool bay area winds and beautiful sunsets make me feel right at home. I love art, traveling, learning new languages, listing to music, watching movies, reading books, playing in oceans, spinning fire poi, playing chess, drinking wine and spending time with my family and friends.

PHILOSOPHY

what goes around comes around... spread the good karma

life moves fast if you don't stop to enjoy it , it might just pass you by.

yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and all you have is today .

life is a garden... DIG IT!

be proud of your terroir its unique and special.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

spreading the word to cool people that I think meet the criteria to be a contributing member of the CS community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed in many people's homes and I always behave as a non intrusive and clean guest. I try to engage with my host and get to know them.

I have also hosted a fair amount, and all of my guests were gracious and friendly. So overall I have had positive experiences.
