I moved to the west coast and built a wonderful network of friends which has brought me endless opportunities for local fun. I'm always intrigued to explore more and discover by what my city has to offer. I live for good music & good food, and love sharing local music + culinary experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting and sometimes exploring with travelers. Travelers have a sense of wonder for a city I'm too accustomed to. That attitude and spark is contagious. It helps me appreciate, see, and learn more about my city.

When possible, I like to share my beautiful home and city!

Music, Movies, and Books

I rarely watch movies or TV.

Music-wise I like almost everything in moderation.
I prefer chill/downtempo electronic music (Pretty Lights, Emancipator, Tycho, Odesza, Desert Dwellers, Break Science), funky edm (Griz, Gramatik, The Floozies), jam bands (STS9, Greensky Bluegrass, Lotus), bass music (Daily Bread, The Widdler, Manic Focus, Laika Beats), reggae, Deep / Future House (Tchami), tropical house (Thomas Jack), House (Dirtybird, G-House). Some rap too (Atmosphere, King Fantastic).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Invented "Find my iPhone" in high school, long before Apple. It helped people all over the world recover their phones, before it was cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about places others have visited. I've been to many countries but not long enough - it's great to get advice and encouragement to continue planning my trips.
I like to learn how to cook food from all over the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Along with my clean home I know of a lot of lesser-known food, music, and drink venues in the city.
My friends and I throw events in the city so I always know of something special going on.
