I’m a newbie to Couchsurfing but am very excited about it! I’m from Brooklyn (Bushwick) and am currently visiting LA to scope out jobs and neighborhoods to move into! I work in the arts and love community oriented volunteer work, mainly directed towards education and literacy. As a military kid, I had the joy of moving around to different cities and countries all my life and have a seasoned love for travel!

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn - I’d love to learn more about LA!

Share - books, food, and good conversation. I can also make a variety of delicious Korean food! :)
