My place is in the perfect location. I live in a one bedroom apartment in Hollywood with a roommate. We have a big, comfortable couch in our living room that we can provide to guests. It's really comfortable and sometimes I fall asleep there.

Our apartment is central to everything. Uber/Lyft are very abundant and you can get one in a few minutes.

To the Chinese Theatre, Walk of Fame (5 min drive, 20 min walk)
To West Hollywood bars (10 min drive, 30 min walk)
To Sunset Strip (10 min drive, 30 min walk)
To Beverly Hills (15 min drive)
To Santa Monica/Venice (30 - 40 min drive)
To The Getty Center (40 min drive)
To Universal Studios (20 min drive)
To Griffith Observatory (20 min drive)

Across the street is a little store/bodega where you can buy food and supplies if you need to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My belief is that life is all about learning and growing.

Interests

I work a lot. When I'm not working, I'm writing... so I don't have a lot of free time. But other than that, I'm a huge gym fanatic. I love working out. I'm also an Apple product fanboy and comic book nerd. I think this life is incredible. There's so much to do, so much to see. You can become anything and do anything if you work hard enough.

Teach, Learn, Share

I worked in the health and fitness industry for almost a decade, so I can help with any weight loss or muscle building goals that you may have.

I know a lot about Hollywood and the film/tv industry. I can share my experiences.

I'm really interested in learning about other cultures and religions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Pillows, blankets and couch. If I have enough time I can take you around the city. We'll make you feel at home :)

I can share recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Some of my favorite restaurants include: Tatsu Ramen (for delicious ramen soup - try the Cheeky Ramen, it's the best in the world, including Japan!), Guisados for gourmet tacos, Wirsthaus for really satisfying German food, Osteria La Buca for the best Italian, Lucifer’s Pizza (try the 3 little pigs with caramelized onions and garlic), Meals by Genet for incredible Ethiopian, and finally, Republique for brunch (Mushroom Toast = :) )
