CURRENT MISSION

To boldly explore untraversed cobblestones.

ABOUT ME

Currently going on my twelfth year in Los Angeles, where I live with my cat, Mona. I'm an introvert and a listener by nature who enjoys absorbing sights, sounds, and sagas of mundane adventure. Among other aims of my upcoming travels is sampling local cuisine and fine craft beer.

PHILOSOPHY

Patience is paramount. The best way out is through. Destiny doesn't play requests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I visited the French Riviera in high school, we weren't given any time to go to the beaches so I briefly split from the group and jumped in with my clothes on.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, my origami is pretty rusty but I can teach you make mayonnaise from scratch.
