Born and bred in the smoggy glitz of Los Angeles.

I studied Russian Language and Literature at Reed College, an itsy bitsy liberal arts thang in Portland, Or.

Eschewing academia, I've taken up the people's pen and now report (news, entertainment, the gamut) in Los Angeles and beyond.

I'm currently interning at the UB Post in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and would love to connect with locals, tourists and expats alike!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nothing enhances the travel experience like good company!

Interests

Good food and good coffee -- in generous quantities, learning new languages, writing and reporting, film, biking, hiking, adventuring, long rambling conversations, and pretty much all the good things in life.
