CURRENT MISSION

Take over Hollywood.

ABOUT ME

I am a freelancer in Los Angeles, I have lived here for about 2 years now after I graduated from Ohio University. While I studied video production, I ended up using my passion for crafts and my adoration of miniature things to create stop motion animation. You can check out my animation at http://vimeo.com/24805504.

I love meeting new people and hearing there passions. I also like to hike and explore. While I would love to be able to host people here, my roommate is not really up for it. But always down to hang or show someone around!

PHILOSOPHY

The best way to sum up the way I feel about life is through the words of the wise Douglas Adams:
"He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which."

Or in other words: Life is chaotic and unpredictable -- and since the concept of intelligence is one that has been argued about for million of years, clearly we're never really going to pin that one down. So live life, try to find something that makes you happy, try to keep good relationships, and do whats true to you, make your choices and live with their consequences -- I'm what some may call an existentialist?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've heard a lot of positive things about couch surfing from a few friends, and while I am starting in the hope to find couches and nice people on my way to California, hopefully, once I get settled, I'll be able to return the favor to those visiting LA.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just traveled cross country and was hosted by some amazing people on my way!
