I am an actor from Los Angeles. I moved to London for graduate school to study Applied theatre. I am currently an artist in residence with a small theatre company in London where I am developing an arts practice that involves using stand-up comedy to teach critical thinking to young people at risk of the school-to-prison pipeline in America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be graduating this December and plan on travelling throughout Europe until then. I would like to use couchsurfing to get to know the different communities in Europe while also saving money. What I love most about travelling is getting to know people so I can truly engage with the culture. I am very tidy. I am not a smoker but I do not mind if others smoke.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I completed a master's degree and started doing stand-up comedy within the same year.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn: I studied French for a long time. Never got fluent. I'm always down for French lessons.
Share: A laugh! I'm funny and love getting to know people.
Any sporting activity (basketball, bowling, aerial circus, etc) I love athletic stuff!
Teach: I am always down to help with learning English, my specialty is the poetics of American slang.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food! We can cook together! I'd love to learn about the politics of your country and I'll certainly give some little known history of the USA!
