Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet fellow travelers, at home and abroad.

Because San Francisco is a very popular destination, I receive multiple requests from surfers every day. Couchsurfers who send the same cut+paste message to me and every other host receive the same cut+paste rejection message from me. (Most hosts don't respond at all.)

Teach, Learn, Share

I've taught English abroad, so I can help you improve your English, or your profile, or a letter or email or ...
I love learning about how things like cars, farms, and societies function.
I volunteer as an educator with San Francisco Sex Information. But if you don't ask about it, then you won't have to hear about it. 🤐

What I Can Share with Hosts

A meal and a bottle of wine. A story and a laugh.
