About Me

I’m from the Bay Area, California — Silicon Valley 💾
At 18, I moved to LA for school and stayed a while.

I lived in Colorado for a bit (majestic ⛰ ), but LA called me back. I have several pets. I live in Downtown Long Beach and zip around Southern California. I have also lived in the high desert near Joshua Tree National Park.

I wonder if I may live in a few more states and also abroad at some point.

I enjoy being near the ocean or under an open sky. ☁️
I got my scuba certification October 2021.

There’s also days I’m an urban rat at heart. 🏙️

Travel trifecta: live music, scuba, horseback.
Bonus and extra blessed if I also secure a travel tattoo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and learning about other ways of living. It’s fun to meet people who want to experience more.

I also value relaxed silence and quiet reading time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a wide variety — honestly enjoy all sorts of music.
I love good character development in movies and TV shows.

I read both fiction and non-fiction.

classic films 🎞
and into movies in general— a very Los Angeles trait.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I enjoyed my first acid trip alone on a remote beach in Mexico, spontaneously spent the night near German backpackers there, and then went swimming by moonlight.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cannabis, social justice, Buddhism, philosophy, science, Vietnamese food and culture, American shit

What I Can Share with Hosts

I offer conversation, silly jokes,
thoughts on psychology, tech, and cannabis or psychedelic drugs.

My friends often call on me to help with styling clothes, interiors, parties, gifts, etc. I can help with kids and help out in general. I’m okay with tools. It’s also fun to run errands and get a peek into others’ day-to-day.

If you like trips, I’m happy to make long drives and pitch a tent. Want a hiking partner? Let’s go
