About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm currently on a quest to land back in the Bay Area. Just trying to enjoy life and meet new people as I wind my way back.

ABOUT ME

I'm a brewer! I love to drink beer, make beer, talk about beer, and sometimes I even dream about beer. I just started working at a brewery in the States a couple months ago, where I brew batches of about 4,000 gallons at a time (that's 15,000 or so liters). I'm going to Munich to study brewing in more depth and hopefully land at an amazing brewery back in California.

As for fun, I love music, festivals, good people, good food, good times, and beautiful places. I went to Burning Man for the first time last year and it literally changed my life. If you have ever even thought about going, just freaking go. You won't regret it.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is completely what you make of it. If you are a positive person and surround yourself with other positive people, life will be beautiful. Which it should be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't been formally involved with meeting people through the website yet, but I'd like to change that. I want to meet people and get connected to this lovely global traveling community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have informally couchsurfed and hosted others without the use of this website for years. As far as this actual website, I've had some couchsurfers stay at my house through one of my housemates, been to several couch surfing potlucks and outings in the Berkeley, California area, and spent time at the couch surfing camp at Burning Man last year.
