About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm living in Paris but looking for ways to attend a (10 week) JavaScript course in London. Looking for a place to stay 2-3 nights per week in July/Aug - (Tuesdays, Wednesdays & some Thursdays) and will be commuting back to Paris for Friday through Monday nights. I will maintain a back-up plan to reduce pressure but CS would be a great way to take in the London experience.

ABOUT ME

Outgoing travel enthusiast with a passion for art & good stories. Originally from California, I have lived the past 3 years across Indonesia, Cambodia, Australia & now Paris (since June 2015).

PHILOSOPHY

Traveling makes for the best education

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't hosted in a couple years and I've never been hosted. Looking to make some new friends and learn something about the London experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While living in Cambodia for a few months in 2013 I was able to host a few people and meet some great people. The generosity and spirit of the CSers I hosted was fantastic and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Interests

Travel, tech, start-ups, design and the outdoors. I'm currently studying design in a master's program in Paris.

Music, Movies, and Books

My theory on music is that any kind of music can be done right. I grew up on punk-rock and studied a little bit of sound production in college.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one!?
I quit my day job 4 years ago and have managed to stay afloat while traveling with my girlfriend to more than 14 countries.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach peace, learn respect, share fun!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will be studying JavaScript during my time in London and would be more than happy to trade my coding skills for a couch or bed to crash.
