CURRENT MISSION

Making a chlidhood dream of mine come true: I'm spending 2 weeks in Japan (Tokyo, Osaka and surrounding areas) from April 2nd - 18th.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 24 year old musician living in Los Angeles. After some recent eye-opening experiences, I've realized that growth, joy, and exploration are extremely valuable to me.

I feel like the best way to travel is to put myself in new situations with new people, and take things as they come along. To take risks and to live life in the face of fear is an exciting and new prospect, and traveling around and meeting new people is one of my favorite things to do!

PHILOSOPHY

On my arm I have the words "live to learn, learn by doing" tattooed, which I feel explains my stance pretty well!

I also recently found this awesome quote from Elon Musk, "when you want to do something new, you have to apply the physics approach. Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive." Reasoning by analogy would be someone in 1900 thinking that the way to get faster transport was to breed stronger horses. You limit your imagination to a simple extension of what you already know. That is not how the world changes.”"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can cook, clean, serenade, and generally love to engage people. Anything related to the fields of tech, astronomy, comedy, music, philosophy, and the latest awesome food trends excites me.

I'm organized, energetic and social. I also appreciate my quiet time, which I usually do through reading, meditating, and journaling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in Madison, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Boulder, Denver, Charleston, San Francisco, New Orleans, Savannah, Athens, Atlanta.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a working man, I know quite a few things about the Marketing and Amazon world! I also am pretty hip to some cool technologies that'll make your web-browsing life easier.

As a singer + musician, I can teach you what I know about singing, guitar, and production in Logic Pro or Ableton. If you're so inclined I can also serenade you haha!

As a 1st generation American, I can teach you some english, french, some creole, and maybe even a tiny bit of hebrew (or at least how to fake it real well).

As a food enthusiast, I have a few Mauritian dishes and personal favorites I'd love to share.

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Madagascar, Spain
