CURRENT MISSION

It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams. -- Marquez

ABOUT ME

Hello, World! I am a 25 year old young professional living in Los Angeles with my two cats and Boston Terrier (yes, I will show you pictures). I spend my days working for a pretty cool company helping video creators find and grow an audience on YouTube. Outside of work I love creating on my own (right now I'm focusing on pottery and painting), finding new restaurants and cuisines, hunting for the elusive good LA bookstore, and playing nerdy board games (all Dominion players are forever welcome at my house).

PHILOSOPHY

Every experience is unrepeatable, so live with a free-spirit coupled with thoughtfulness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a couch surfing newbie, but looking to dive in both as a guest and a host. I'm also more than happy to simply meet up with travelers for a drink or a coffee, or to check out some LA sight that I haven't seen yet (and there are lots).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I roomed with a former couchsurfer for a bit so have dabbled in hosting, but I've never yet been a guest! I have an upcoming European adventure (5/9-5/24) and would love to remedy that situation.

Interests

I love all things creative - art, movies, music, storytelling -- and will always be down for checking out a museum, gallery, or other "happening."

I also have to admit that I spend a significant part of each day thinking about food. I love many cuisines, especially those that have lots of spice! (I'd love for someone to teach me how to make a really great curry).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the more beautiful scenes I've witnessed was a thunderstorm rolling across Lake Michigan as I sat on a warm sand dune at the beach. The Great Lakes have a seriously underrated beauty that I recommend all travelers check out at some point!
